pickSomehow despite living in Australia for over a decade I was not familiar with this book. I was recently on a short trip and managed to finish the book I‘d brought along on the first night, so ducked to an op shop and found this. What a fantastic find. Interesting from a colonial history, and near history (written in 1968) perspective. Important, gripping, bloody.
danx An aboriginal man who was brought up by a Methodist minister to have white aspirations finally breaks, and the result is bloody, yet less bloody than all that is done to his people. An exploration of severed culture and insurmountable barriers and othering and the devastating results this can have. 3mo
