I really like your use of "authentic" to describe their relationship. I'm sure the author would be really happy to read that.

It also means "master" or "lord" but unless it was sarcasm or she was teasing him, I really can't see Sarah calling him that!!briellejee wrote: ↑18 Oct 2019, 02:54Bikpela means big. If she calls him that, I think it meant big brother. But im not sure as well.naomisorge wrote: ↑17 Oct 2019, 13:57 Does anyone know exactly what bikpela means? Google didn't give me much joy!
I also like how Jacko has respect for Sarah's skills. I just read a scene where someone suggested that she should stay home where it was safe, and Jacko said something like "we're safer with her." I feel like that might not have been too common back in those times.
I agree! I liked that scene as well as it shows how Jacko values her skills more than his.

What language would it be? Warammunga or Malay?

Same here. No one could even notice they're half siblings because they just seem so close.Melissa Breen wrote: ↑24 Oct 2019, 14:46 Jacko and Sarah's relationship is one of my favourite parts of the book. They're very cute and you can tell how much they care for each other. They have a very stable and loving relationship and it was nice to read the pride they had for each other

Going by what I found, it is from the language "Toc Pisin," which is a dialect of Warammunga.briellejee wrote: ↑30 Oct 2019, 03:03What language would it be? Warammunga or Malay?
