Such a sweet story about two older women reuniting after being separated in their youth. There are not many HEA stories that focus on the elders, but this one shows not just a rekindled love but one based in self love and self-worth.

At first I did not understand some of the poems but the end note mentioned that some of these poems were written in response to different artworks. Looking up these artworks did help me understand the select poems a bit better, especially knowing that these are Aboriginal artists and their depiction of Aboriginal struggles and flora. I do think this information would be better suited at the end of each poem as a footnote instead of a note at the end. Other than that this is a collection put together so the author can better connect with Aboriginal readers but a bit of research allows others to have a better grasp on what Ellen Van Neerven is trying to convey.
