Review: Love Like Water by Meme McDonald

Today, in January Magazine’s children’s book section, contributing editor Sue Bursztynski looks at Love Like Water, a book Bursztynski feels will be most enjoyed by older teens.

Meme McDonald’s young adult trilogy, My Girragundji, The Binna Binna Man and Ngunjul The Sun, all written with Boori Monty Pryor, were coming-of-age stories centred around a young Aboriginal boy in present-day Australia. In Love Like Water, also on Aboriginal themes, the author travels back in time to the early 1980s.
