"Harley, a man of Nyoongar ancestry, finds himself at a difficult point in the history of his country, family and self. As the apparently successful outcome of his white grandfather's enthusiastic attempts to isolate and breed the 'first white man born', he wants to be a failure. But would such failure mean his Nyoongar ancestors could label him a success? And how can the attempted genocide represented by his family history be told?"

Day One of the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival done and dusted. Saw Kim Scott, Gillian Triggs and Jane Caro and more speak today. Most of these names will only be known to Australians. #UWRF18 📚❤️🙏

MrsMalaprop @CarolynM She‘s great. She pretty much said ‘watch this space‘. She‘s been contacted by so many people who want to help her run. 6y

A luminous and beautiful tale about terrible times. This Miles Franklin Award winning novel is a perfect example of writing beautifully about ugly things. A dense read but well worth the effort.
