I had no idea of the plight of the Tamil people. Thank you to the author of this well written novel that educated me on the civil war in Sri Lanka.
From the spiel I had no idea that this book would be a revelation for me on the refugees and immigrants from Sri Lanka. The inclusion of the stories from differing perspectives got me thinking about the back stories of people and how we can never know how and why they ended up in Australia.
The racial undertone was also very topical and I think an important one to read about.

Cass, it was not what I was expecting at all. So much more than just a fluffy story about a retirement home and the residents in there. Had me researching and thinking and questioning.
Sounds Brilliant Kylie 😄 thank you 💜
