The narrators are in such substantially different classes - like...I am glad there was one that narrated the bulk of the book over the other.

Also a very visceral perspective of westerners pillaging and stealing from native people re: the flute stolen for a western museum.

Ok it does feel like the wrap-up is a bit swift

The complexity of each character is incredible.
I also appreciate that this is a critique of anthropology in the 20th century...which seems basically wrong and so arrogant (and echoed by Fen's character through and through).

I appreciate the written piece by Helen!!! Which contextualizes efforts made in the realm of anthropology in the early 20th century (and how western / colonial perspectives really did not have a clue in what they were doing most of the time)

Lily King knows grief and I appreciate that in a book more than I can articulate. Also, KING HAS SUCH A GIFT!!!!!
