✨ Book review: `A Real Piece of Work` by @erin_j_riley ✨
"Erin Riley is a Sydney-based social worker and counsellor who brings forth their debut collection of essays in ‘A Real Piece of Work’. Riley allows readers to become privy to their life with the stories delving into their queer and trans experiences and combines them with anecdotes regarding their career. Identity, marginalisation, and family are embedded in the stories, which are presented in a conversational tone that enables it to be an intimate and vulnerable read. ‘A Real Piece of Work’ is a ‘Great Piece of Work’ detailing some of the complexities of structures and identities."
