Is silence better than words...
What does silence say about a person...
The Silence is a story about loneliness and longing, about forgiveness and hope, it is about the different needs of two Australian families, but at it also touches on Australia's atrocious kidnapping of Aboriginal children...
...between 1910 and the 1970s, many First Nations children were forcibly removed from their families as a result of various government policies. The child removal policies left a legacy of trauma and loss that continues to affect Indigenous communities, families and individuals today.
Allott deftly explores the deterioration of relationships and the devastating truths we keep from those we love...
...definitely worth a read.
