The political and social troubles of the time period throughout this book resonate with not only Australian natives, but with all cultures around the world. I found this novel to be touching and it strengthened my own viewpoints against racism. I rarely recommend books to friend on Facebook and Twitter, but I can't stop telling people to go out and buy these books!Emily's story is heartbreaking, but at the end I have hope for her. Harry's continued struggles with reality make a person feel cold and afraid. Jarrah's story of survival and escape elated me throughout the book because I was rooting for him the entire way. Iain's love for a child and his ability to get her to open up touched me and made me feel for him as well as Emily. It was a tearjerker, and it ended so smoothly that I have to read the next one!The author's ability to wrap all of these stories together with one family and so many different political and social aspects of the culture of an era is refreshing! I highly recommend this book with five stars.
