The Permanent Resident by Roanna Gonsalves

3.0

This collection provide an interesting window into the catholic Indian community of Sydney. Gonsalves stories repeat similar themes - bad marriages, frustrated creativity and the struggles of finding a place in either the Indian or Anglo communities in Sydney. The stories start to blur together after a while, and the writing didn't knock my socks off, but this is still a promising debut.
