Amal says that Donvale had been a "very leafy, hilly suburb with lots of acreages and owls hooting at night" (5) and a larger number of "Aussies with ethnic backgrounds there" (5) so Amal's family's status as a Muslim family "wasn't such a big deal" (5). In the trendy suburb of Camberwell, however, the atmosphere is different. Even though both locations are suburbs of Melbourne, Donvale is decidedly more diverse than Camberwell.
