This book was one of the most emotional books I’ve ever read in my life. Having learnt about Grace Tame while I was in school, I was already familiar with what she had shared with the world about her trauma. But this book gave me the opportunity to learn so much more about Grace Tame and her life.
I found this to be such an approachable and funny read - which definitely shocked me considering the topic. Tame has such strong views on life and it’s so interesting to learn about them!
I still can’t believe how talented Grace Tame is and I just had no idea! It’s not something people talk about but I wish they did! I mean this cover was drawn by her and how amazing is it!
Everyone needs to read this book because the media is always choosing to focus on certain elements of a person and this allows Tame to show us who she really is.
Thank you Pan Macmillan Australia for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is an incredible memoir by a special person. Grace Tame writes with such poise and power, a book that is confronting in its subject but exceedingly important and with heart. ‘The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner’ deserves recognition from a talented Australian who has a natural writing ability that I hope to see in future books.

I’ll come back to this at a later date, it’s just a bit much at the moment.
