A great collection of stories which made me refect on my experiences with migrants, particularly when I was in primary school in the 70s. The stand-outs for me were Amy Espeseth (heart-wrenching), Danny Katz (hilarious), Chris Flynn & Ali Alizadeh.

Really interesting read, I found these stories really moving and I couldn't stop turning the pages! A perfect companion for my daily commute to work. I'd highly recommend this to every Australian, particularly those who have not had the fortune of having their own migration story. It made me very fortunate that my own return to this country was so seamless and nowhere near as traumatic as some of the experiences that people wrote about in this collection of stories.

I had to read this for year 12 English, I personally am not a fan of reading memoirs and true stories, I find them quite boring, and when you have to re read a book you dont like much over and over again you grow to despise it. Although there was one or two stories that i did find interesting.
If you are interested in reading memoirs, this book is a collection of immigrants who come from different countries and they tell their stories of what it was like to migrate to Australia and how it had affected them and how it shaped them to be who they came to be.
