3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Rosie and Nona are sisters. Yapas. They are also best friends. It doesnt matter that Rosie is white and Nona is Aboriginal: their family connections tie them together for life. The girls are inseparable until Nona moves away at the age of nine. By the time she returns, theyre in Year 10 and things have changed. Rosie prefers to hang out in the nearby mining town, where she goes to school with the glamorous Selena and her gorgeous older brother, Nick. When a political announcement highlights divisions between the Aboriginal community and the mining town, Rosie is put in a difficult position: will she have to choose between her first love and her oldest friend?

I loved this book, a story set in Australia about a strained friendship between two Aboriginal girls, one who wants to be more involved with regular high school life and pushes away from her community in order to do so and hurts her sister/friend by doing so. Quite a story about racism and politics when it comes to aboriginal rights and a girl torn between wanting to fit in and doing right by her family and community. #dogsoflitsy

It was a great book that explored the touchy subject of the separation of the aboriginal community as the needs the support your self and your family.It deals with a lot of death, grief and racism issues. But all round a great book 📚

Met Clare at her author talk at the Northern Territory Library on Wednesday night. Borrowed a copy to read.
