This is the kind of books that everyone should read. It follows the story of refugees who live in Australia. The author has a great way show a scenario and allowing the reader to reflect on their own position. This is art that truly says something and while it was emotionally difficult to read at times. I feel I have a richer understanding of the world. I will be recommending this book widely
