Format:Paperback
I'd read this book from the library but wanted my own copy and to give another copy to someone for Christmas, because I admire the author and think this is an excellent piece of investigative journalism.
If you've ever lived in sub-tropical northern Australia (as I have) this book will bring the physical environment back to you; but as the title suggests, the most important thing is the sensitive depiction of life and death in an Aboriginal community.
Not always an easy or happy read, but an essential one...

Not a pretty story but one that in my opinion deserves to be read by anyone concerned with social issues, prejudice and inequality. I thought it to be a balanced and well written account of events following the death in custody of an aboriginal man and the interplay of the differing cultural perspectives of the persons involved in the enquiry.
Format:Hardcover
I thought it was a wonderful book.
Now, i dont wan't to spoil the book for you so i'm not going to say much. However, there is certainly a paradox about justice within the ending...
The seller had kept this book in fantastic condition and had it delivered very fast.
Reliable and simple, many thanks!
