The Bone Sparrow’ is a moving story set in an Australian detention centre. Subhi, was born in the centre and his family are

Rohingya refugees expelled from Burma

(Myanmar) their homeland. Life in the centre is poor, dehumanising and depressing. The people who are forced to live there are treated like prisoners, especially by some of the guards, and it is not surprising that many people lose hope. Subhi  survives with his imagination and love of story, as he waits patiently for his father to join them at the camp. Life begins to get to him when his best friend Eli is moved to another complex as he is deemed a ‘troublemaker’. Subhi meets

Jimmie, a girl from the outside who is also

grieving her beloved mother. She wants Subhi to read her mother’s book of stories to her and they develop a loyal friendship. Jimmie tells Subhi about the outside world which opens his mind, as he has never been outside the detention centre. Finally, the climate turns and people’s patience runs out as they have no hope for a future.

When tensions build up, people began to act with protests and hunger strikes, leading to a complete breakdown, followed by the possibility that things may change for the better.
