Too Much Lip by Melissa Lucashenko

I've read a lot of books that include domestic violence but this is the only one that was laugh out loud funny. It tells the story of an Aboriginal family, the Salters. Thirty-five-year-old Kerry Salter returns to her hometown on a Harley because her grandfather is dying. He brother Ken is the same bully she left behind and his teenage son Donny is suffering from anorexia.

The book touches on intergenerational trauma, land rights and loss of culture. It helps the reader develop a better understanding of Aboriginal culture. The writing is witty and concise. I wasn't sure where the story was going for the first 100 pages but the plot twists were great.
