4.0

Just finished reading this very interesting piece of Australian aboriginal literature and despite my slow reading (mainly due to the complexity of the language) I found it more than useful and interesting. Even though in prose style it's not better than, let's say, Carpentaria by Alexis Wright, it definitely represents one of the most challenging and reliable accounts about the British colonial invasion of Australia. A clash between two civilizations, each of one strongly anchored in their traditions, religions and ways of thinking or behaving. PS: do not judge this book by its covers!
