The Sound of One Hand Clapping

Writing too rich to be enjoyable and tortuously slow pace. Not for me.

The title is a Zen koan philosophical question based on what.........? It is over a week since I have finished and I am still thinking about this at times very sad tale and the title that goes with it. Read up on what that question means and read the premise of the book as I am not that capable of explaining in a particularly articulate manner.

With that mea culpa on my inability to write deeper thoughts, I can communicate to anyone that peruses my occasional scribblings that I have found this is an exceptional read indeed. It should/could be very rewarding in allowing some of the citizens in this continental landmass that is the nation of Australia to maybe have more understanding of the plight of the refugee as to reasons to leave the brutality of a past life and with that how they deal with that past, this present and their future. I suspect that many hardly care, in fact, have any ability to care, but hey! How much more arrogant can I be with a statement like that. The sound of one hand clapping? Vacuous statements on my part? Others can be the judge.

Read other reviews for want of better depth.

For me, I can do no other than highly recommend.
