Thanks so much for your interesting post, Marsi, and for sharing your own personal experiences. It saddens me, but doesn't surprise me at all. Be assured of your warm welcome in this multicultural Literary Book Club though.
I do hope you find your copy of The Secret River and your essays and notes. I found it well worthwhile rereading the book after the interval of a few years, though as you say, some of the events and descriptions always stay with you.
