Newspaper Article
A return to Oz, marred by a wicked killing
2008
Overview
Beneath the trappings of a genre novel, the book explores transcendent issues of identity and culture, and leaves the reader with some understanding of the horrific history that recently moved the Australian government to issue an official apology for the suffering caused by its policy of removing aboriginal children from their families. More violent deaths need to be explained when a salt mine explodes, and soon Evelyn is pulling round-the-clock shifts with no time to pay attention to her teenage daughter, and even less to nurture what seems to be a promising romance with a police detective.
