Indigo Sky by Alison Booth
In 1957, when piano teacher Ilona Talivaldis arrived in the sleepy little town of Jingera, she was mocked as the 'reffo from Latvia'. Now, just four years on, she and her fourteen-year-old daughter Zidra are at the heart of the community. But when Ilona becomes involved in the plights of two very different children she puts this peaceful life in jeopardy. For Ilona's sensitive young protege , Philip, is slowly being crushed by relentless bullying at Sydney's exclusive Stambroke College. With his wealthy parents turning a blind eye, only Ilona can see the disturbing warning signs. At the same time, Zidra receives a cryptic message from her long-lost friend Lorna, who years earlier was snatched by the government from the Wallaga Lake Reserve. Now the gutsy Lorna has a daring plan - but she needs Zidra and Ilona's help. Ilona will do all she can to help these two vulnerable children on their difficult journeys. But will she be in time to avert a tragedy?

Book Review: Indigo Sky by Alison Booth - Reviewed by Boomer (29 Jan 2011) Alison Booth doesn’t suffer from second-book syndrome with The Indigo Sky, the sequel to her popular debut novel Stillwater Creek (a third is also on the way). This is a charming follow-up. The Indigo Sky takes readers back to the fictional town of Jingera on the south coast of New South Wales. Once again, it centres on refugee Ilona Vincent and her daughter Zidra, and depicts the lives of the Jingera locals, or ‘Jingeroids’, through the use of multiple viewpoints.

In particular, it looks at the mistreatment of Indigenous Australians at that time. (Reading about the incarceration of children in this novel also left me wondering whether we’ve learnt anything from the past, considering the Australian government’s treatment of asylum seekers.) This book is imbued with atmospheric... Alison Booth is the author of Stillwater Creek. |
