This is a very powerful book, with a story that is both difficult and beautiful to read. The writer's language can be both poetic and rough. This tale of a family torn apart by war and the circumstances of birth is one that will stay with you.

I enjoyed this unique story set in 1950 and 1959, it tells the story of Lark and her younger brother Termite, who have been orphaned and are being raised by their Aunt Nonnie. The author paints a great picture of the "family" that they have created, tells us the backstory of how they came to be where they are and explains the deep bond between siblings.
