Welcome to Litsy!

#previewbook #septrso2023 #digitalarc #historical #migrantexperience Two children trying to reach their father in Australia when the ‘Great Leap Forward‘ in China means their mother dies of starvation and malnutrition. It‘s incredibly moving, and without some luck and the kindness of strangers, things could have gone quite differently. Loved it although it made me cry several times.

Two very different #septrso2023 reads - one African-inspired fantasy and one Australian contemporary. One fast paced action plot driven, and one coming-of-age, friendship grief focused on character. But both good. Holidays now. Time to decompress, time to catch up, time to read.
