Evocative portrait of loss and longing. You have pinpointed the inextricable truth about country. No matter from where you spring you are tied to your country and leaving tears the soul. Give me the wonderful song of varied tongues and notes over the nasty twang of whining grievance.
Your story reminds or should remind all of us who are not indigenous Australians that we’ve all come from somewhere else and that we or our forebears left a country that most never returned to. That’s what Pauline Hanson simply doesn’t get.
Oh Antoun, such beautiful words, sharing powerful windows into your parents' yearning for peace and the resulting losses. Your deep love and respect for your parents shines through.
It will be an honour to hear you share such evocative insights and buy your book in Torquay 😊
