A great read..

A historical and modern comparison outset for the readers, swapping between the past and present times is interesting. I enjoyed this aspect on how the author relates between the timelines and creates a basis for her story. Knowing a bit about the Girmitiya in Fiji, I try to build a connection with the characters and the some of the symbolism used and described in the story. A great insightful read overall on the origins of the Indians in Fiji, and the endurance of their struggles in their early days. I would recommend to others who want to understand the indenture systems especially to the younger generations coming from Fiji for them to know more about their ancestry.
