Foreign Soil my beloved.
Grateful to have found a hardcover copy of a phenomenal collection of short stories at my local op shop for only $3 after giving my original copy to one of my friends' siblings for our consecutive year 12 lit classes.
I truly believe that this is one that shouldn't be described so I'll just tell you my most favourites and not so favourites (because theyre all number 1 in my heart):
