I can feel this one in my bones

First lines | “The first time I got on an aeroplane, I was sixteen years old and pregnant. I was on my way to Sydney to have my situation sorted out. It was May 1978 and that was what you had to do if you had enough money for the flight and the procedure. Although they didn't say procedure, or termination.”

This book is unexpectedly fantastic. So raw and shocking in the most calm and gentle way. Feels incredibly Kiwi in that sense.
