I cried, you cried, we all crode.
I had to read this text for a literature module and Fred D'Aguiar will always have a piece of my heart now. He has such a beautiful way of words, the fact that he managed to describe a tragedy so poetically to the point where I felt rage, sadness and numbness was absolutely insane. I couldn't recommend enough and i will never recover from the greatness of this book.
