One online reviewer named Rachel posted the following in her review:
"Walk in My Shoes subtly informs us about cultural difference and diversity. It deals with issues sensationalised, yet trivialised, by the media, in a way that offers insight and empathy. It challenges readers to really think about their own position on human rights. It is a story that stays with you long after you finish. A story that will haunt you, make you feel angry, guilty, proud, ashamed and inspired all at once. Throughout the novel, Evans indirectly questions what it means to be an Australian, offering complex insights about this question. By the end, you will ask yourself similar questions. Are you proud or ashamed to be associated with the Australia portrayed in this story?"
What is your response to Rachel comments?
