Résumé
La 4e de couverture du conteneur indique : 'It has been 30 years since Patsy Achoo has seen the island where she was born and where she grew up. Sunday Island (or Iwany) is the largest of a number of low rocky, scrubby islands off One Arm Point, north of Broome in Western Australia. What was once a thriving community, centred on a mission settlement, is now abandoned and overgrown. Patsy re-lives many poignant moments as she wanders through the ruins and the places where once she and her people camped, fished and gardened. Traveling to the island with family members, she over-sees fishing and the capture of turtles to feed the party, and feels re-united with her past'
