The City of Sealions
By Eva Sallis
A beautifully crafted novel of self discovery - it is through Lian's confronting loss of identity in a foreign culture that she is able to find compassion for her Vietnamese mother's difficult life and an understanding of their unforgiving relationship.
Set in Yemen and on a small island off the coast of Australia, The City of Sealions explores ideas about community and belonging and loss.
