Following an arduous and tragic sea journey to Australia, Hamil travels into the outback to find work and is taken in by a fellow Turkish immigrant. Initially they are widely accepted into the community as ice cream sellers and Halim as a Halal butcher. Supported by an ambitious teacher they look to offer lessons to the large migrant camp.

However, as war breaks out, relations are strained and racial prejudice and violence replace previous acceptance. With the level of attack escalating and faced with being forced out of their home, the two men see only one option, leading to the peace of the community being irrevocably shattered.

If you're looking for a story to take you in, read on, but do not expect a happy end or any sort of warm fuzzy feeling. This book captures the global influence of conflicts on the "little people" and leaves you hopeless with the depravity of humanity. A good story, well told, with great language and varied, emphatic perspective. The eBook itself has several typesetting errors as well as some minor typos, but if you can look past it, an enthralling read!
