Just WOW. I look at interment camps in Australian history. Yes I knew about them but this story is just brilliant. It really looks into this part of Australian history that is not that widely know (unless you like visiting historical place like  I like to visit Trail Bay Goal in NSW). The truth this didn't just happen in WW1 but WW2 with Japanese Australians too. Back to the  book Pamela style really sinks you in with easy prose that you can see yourself in the conditions and the places that the character are. The characters are well developed and all unique with their own flaws and issues they must face. I will like to read more of from this author.
