A really lovely narrative about family, strong women and the joys and hardships of growing up Aboriginal in Australia in the 1960s. I loved Auntie Boo. She was the best. It doesn't follow a set narrative, rather the characters tell the stories in their own words with a cup of tea and surrounded by family and pets.
