One Hundred Days by Alice Pung


I loved this one from Ms Pung, it is written from Karuna's point of view and as a letter to her unborn child...


Ms Pung gives us a beautiful account of the intricate balance of parental love and the need to control a situation. 
The voices of both of her main characters are loud and clear and wonderfully written...


I enjoyed this window into second generation migrant families, a world in which I have no personal experience...


...seeing an unfamiliar Australia through the eyes of a teenage Asian Australian was powerful and thought provoking.
