Where do I start? As a white, middle-class, middle-aged reader who’s heritage is solidly British, I don’t feel in a position to say too much.
This book is an unashamed howl of raw emotions. The horror of what happened to the original inhabitants of this land, and the generational reverberations of that damage are at the heart of this book. So it’s angry - very angry. And rightly so. This doesn’t make for an easy book to read. I couldn’t say I enjoyed it - but I appreciate that it needed to be written, and that I needed to read it.
