Why I'm giving [b:The Place on Dalhousie|37592173|The Place on Dalhousie|Melina Marchetta|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1539689821l/37592173._SY75_.jpg|59200956] 5 stars, except the obvious (splendid charactrization, there's Tommy Mackee in it, strong women FTW, my god everything rings so true) : I only read 15 minutes of it a day (yes I'm evil) (alright, it was part of a reading project with my students) and Marchetta managed to draw me in EVERY TIME. For someone like me who struggles with attention a LOT???? it's pretty fucking fantastic.
