if you are unaware of how Australia (or America, for that matter) treats its potential immigrants and refugees, read a piece of fiction that exposes the truth. enjoy a beautifully written, lyric story while you're at it. i stayed up all night reading this book and cried when i finished - cried for the sad ending, cried for all the experiences that mirror the main character's, cried for the inhumanity of the government of a westernized country that was founded both on the destruction of an indigenous people and the shipping off of unwanteds and criminals (hmm, sounds distinctly like another country i know, the one i live in).
