I chose this book because I had spent two years living in Brunei and had had the opportunity of travelling around Malaysia and loved the experience.
Lachlan Gunn has written this story beautifully. I was a bit slow in getting into the plot but once I did I was totally captivated. I imagined myself in the jungle getting nowhere fast. Again, something I have done. The way the author describes the noise , the heat and the leeches, and the cat and mouse situations of the hunters and hunted.
This is such a moving story which plays with your emotions, and highlights the sadness in the loss of life for a belief.
My heart bled for Alick and what he went through, his PTSD, his struggle with his emotions, and his personal life.
This is a beautifully written book, done with great thought and empathy. The most thought provoking book I have read this year!
