Читать книгу The Styx - Patricia Holland - Страница 3

A movingly-great read! A great story teller. After reading the first chapter I found myself laughing along with the main character’s wonderfully silent sense of humour which comes through easily and naturally. I loved her powerfully hungry take on life and the environment.

Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islander people need to be represented by more voices in fiction. I know children in similar situations who have hardly had a whisper of life, let alone a voice.

In this wonderfully drawn protagonist, the author’s unique style caused this sardonic Murri to read the entire book in a sitting. I cheered for both the author and the resilient, eccentric character who will live long in both heart and memory.
