One of the better books I’ve read for school. A little hard to get into, but had some overall enjoyable parts. The ending (epilogue) really got me in the feels. It (the epilogue especially) was just written so beautifully and ended it perfectly, even if it was a little bittersweet.

A beautiful story about a young girl & her Nan, Aunties, Sister and Mother. The book explores the life of a girl in her humble home in rural town Gundagai (Wiradjuri country) where the old women in her life spin yarns around their communal space of an evening with pots of tea and great senses of humour. There is unrest in the mother who comes and goes but in the end, home is where the heart is. Thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to re-reading it.
