The Paperbark Shoe by Goldie Goldbloom

1.0

The characters were a little too exaggerated for ease of reading. I never could get a feel for the relationship between the husband and wife. The coldness of the main character towards her children made it very difficult for me to sympathize with her. I was frustrated by her choice to be unfaithful to her husband. She excused herself saying that his conduct had 'forced' her to it. I received this book at a goodreads giveaway and felt compelled to read it. I only made it halfway through.

I was interested in a main character with albinism. I did not know that Italian POW's were put to work in Australia in the 1940s. I'd like to find something else to read about this.
