The Stolen Generation is a topic that is confronting in how it demonstrates the injustice done to the Aboriginal community, but this novel was written in a way that the reader can still find the topic approachable enough to face the truth. Tony Birch has written the two main characters in a way that is elegant and highlights the strength of people who were attacked on so many levels that it would leave many people defeated. There is a lot to reflect on from the novel, but it is a strong way for people to introduce the topic and acknowledging that this is a part of history that needs to be learnt.
