I thought Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence would be a harrowing, inspirational memoir, because that’s what we expect in the U.S., but despite surviving the nine-week walk back home, the author reveals that her mother and one of the younger girls were returned to the settlement camp, and that later Pilkington Garimara was also kidnapped and sent to a similar camp. Molly’s other daughter, Annabelle, was taken as a child and never seen again. It’s a grim read, but the author never writes in such a way that you feel you can’t get through. Thus, Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence serves as a trusty record of lived experience and history by an Aboriginal woman, with memories carefully recalled by her family.
