Set amidst the cane fields in north Queensland, Cuskelly manages to give us a real sense of menace and unease, offering us a small town community with all its imperfections...
...racism towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
...the values given to 'traditional' gender roles
...the indiffence to events happening outside their own rural community.
The tale is told through a variety of narraters, offering different perspectives which feel very authentic...
You can almost smell the cane ash.!
