This book was and continues to be very disturbing for me. Some of the scenes of violence will stay with me for a long time and I became angry with the author for the degree of horror introduced. On the other hand, the semi-spiritual mysticism and the whole-hearted embrace of the amazing landscapes of Australia were heartwarming. The plot was simple and so was the theme. Girl looks for sorcerer to remove a curse. On the way she becomes self-enlightened and demonstrates enormous resilience and learns to love again.
