A bit slow at first. Great descriptive writing, both characters and scenic geography. The Australian outback and isolation plays a central character in itself.

This was a very well written book, and whilst it took me around the first 100 pages to get into I was then absolutely glued.

So much family history, secrets, remorse.

It includes themes of depression, rape, domestic and child abuse  and murder.
