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.
