Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 4.5 stars rounded down because it felt really long towards the end and the themes are pretty depressing. It does end on a good note, however. The writing is sensational. My library recommends books by Australian writers and I try to borrow one each month. This one is Melbournian and most of the book is based in Victoria. It follows the life story of a woman who lost her parents early and went through the child protection foster system and the impact of significant complex trauma in her life. It's a very compelling because of the way she writes. Really worth a read. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

A quiet, small-town existence. An unexpected Facebook message, jolting her back to the past. A history she's reluctant to revisit: dark memories and unspoken trauma, warning knocks on bedroom walls, unfathomable loss. She became a new person a long time ago. What happens when buried stories are dragged into the light? Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

This is not a pleasant novel to read. It is distressing, bleak, and harrowing throughout the entire novel. Yes, the quality of the writing is excellent, but the narrative never gives the reader a true pause from the feeling of a life of futility and hopelessness. There are brief periods where you think she is going to overcome her past experiences and live a fulfilling life, but they are brief as another horrific turn of events will quickly follow. Maggie does keep trying to cope with everything. The first half of the novel is stronger than the last half.
