Interesting story though I'm sometimes stumped by the characters and what they say at times. In the end though it's really the theme of Aboriginal culture and their sites and their importance/relevance in this modern times versus the moving on with the times which is the clincher for this book.

I read this book for my book club and also as part of Townsvilles' One Town One Title promotion at which Alex Miller attended to answer some of the audiences questions.
I enjoyed the book and found Alexs' landscape descriptions incredibly beautiful. The love story itself was not my focus but was a nice way to explore deeper ideas of reconciliation, land rights, historical importance and spirituality.

a great book which stayed with me long after I finished it, the author has a poetic descriptive style. The story demonstrates how part of your place/country/family history stays with you and makes you who you are.
