Simpson's prose is as lyrical as expected, with rhythms that move you through (and bonus for actual poetry). The book also beautifully evokes Gadigal and Cammeraygal country and waterways. However, the plot and split structure of this one didn't really work for me, and I struggled to stay in Ginny's thread in particular.
