Melissa Lucashenko is great at establishing place and she writes great banter between characters. There wasn’t a sense of urgency or threat in this book but the themes and vibes were excellent. Likeable characters and an ending that surprised me. A very modern view of what it means to be Aboriginal in Australia today. Joyful!
