Gorgeous storytelling, from two of the most important writers in Australia. Despite not sitting in the target demographic, I never felt like I was reading a teenage book or being talked down to. Ambelin and Ezekiel Kwaymullina handle mature themes with dignity and understanding, crafting a short but perfectly paced story full of heart.

This was a great! Listened to it on audio book and the narrator had a really great way of bringing the story to life. I particularly enjoyed the way Catching’s story was written! Highly recommend.

This book was phenomenal. It was so dark and full of beautiful symbolism, something that I’m not typically a fan of. It was very well written and to the point— something I greatly appreciate in novels. I loved learning more about the aboriginal stories and a small insight to their culture. A wonderful, dark yet colorful, own voices novel.
