3.0

FORMAT:  Audible/Audio
WHY: Was a bookclub chosen book last year that I didn't get around to but wanted to.
THOUGHTS: Intense! Historical fiction with TW of racism, murder and violence. 

It has some serious powerful meanings and just a reminder of how humans can treat each other. 

I will be thinking about this novel for years. 


RECOMMENDED:  Those who are interested in historical fiction,  colonisation, and just stories with powerful symbolism
