It's confronting in places because it also challenges what has been <i>typical</i> male culture for young Australian males, not being able to share their emotions for the fear of being labelled as <i>weak</i>. It was so beautifully written Becky, really lovely.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-7579005497427979392017-12-18T05:30:19.012+11:002017-12-18T05:30:19.012+11:00I was lucky to have been sent this remarkable read...I was lucky to have been sent this remarkable read from Wakefield Press and cannot stop singing its praises Lily.
