Debut novel. Setting: Australia. Excellent writing. 1967 Joe Green & Mandy Mallory affair. 1997 Joe - suspect in her disappearance. We learn history of Aboriginal children who were removed from theIr homes in order to give them a better life. Some were taken care of - many were abused. Alternating timelines done smoothly. Characters well-drawn. Recommended. I‘m looking forward to reading more from this author. Thanks LibraryThing & William Morrow.
