The trials and tribulations of multicultural life come to the fore in this book of seemingly semi-autobiographical, six interrelated short stories.
The last story Waiting was a standout for me, as it was easily relatable to my parent's passing.
I read GR friend Nat K's review of this book a while back and have reread it just after finishing this book. Nat has covered my thoughts in his excellent summation, and I recommend both the book and Nat's review.

3.5 stars. An intriguing collection of short stories from a new Australian talent. Filled with an almost tactile sense of place, these interconnected stories (which sometimes feel like essays) portray unsettling snapshots of lives where cultures, histories and relationships intercept.
