A certainty of “reflection of past narrative” clearly told as a mirror to the primary native-settler story, but also the awful realisation there will be no happy ending. Perhaps hardest to read is the completely horrid certainty of the high-level plot. It has a cracking pace and is very thoughtful, considering as it does the roles of individual, of local administration, of remote governance, and alongside all of this the place of state-approved religion.
