Episode 21 - Too Much Lip

Jayne and Paula were not prepared for the enormity of the themes tackled in this month's pick, winner of the 2019 Miles Franklin Award, Too Much Lip. *Trigger warning. Themes of physical and sexual abuse discussed. Please skip to the 30 minute mark if you would rather avoid these topics. What Jayne had last month anticipated as a fun read the ladies find out is a complicated, fast paced, unflinching look at an Aboriginal family plagued by inter-generational trauma and abuse. There is lots to discuss and learn.
