A story of homecoming, this engrossing novel opens with a young, city-based lawyer setting out on her first visit to ancestral country. Candice arrives at ‘the place where the rivers meet’, the camp of the Eualeyai where in 1918 her grandmother Garibooli was abducted. As Garibooli takes up the story of Candice’s Aboriginal family, the twentieth century falls away.

Garibooli, now renamed Elizabeth, is sent to work as a housemaid, but marriage soon offers escape from the terror of the master’s night-time visits. Her displacement carries into the lives of her seven children—their stories witness to the impact of orphanage life and the consequences of having dark skin in post-war Australia. Vividly rekindled, the lives of her family point the direction home for Candice.

"A stunning first novel. Behrendt creates vivid characters whose convincing inner lives bring this story of loss and survival powerfully to life." (Kate Grenville, author of The Secret River)

"An outstanding, rich literary production of a life journey through a complex family history." (Alexis Wright, author of Carpentaria)

A phenomenal account of the persecution of native aboriginal people, unbeknown to me and undoubtedly many others! Tragic and heartfelt and beautifully narrated, rarely is a “free” audiobook such a joy to read, a credit to the author and moreover the indigenous people of Australia!

Astonishing

Fantastiskt. I only wish that a book as good as this was written and read by many Americans. Having growen up in a Native American area i know many Indian families and herd comments made by whites. The shame was always put out there. Today NAs have recived some rights returned but many whites still complain. The follow upps with historical facits show the depth of research . Discrimination still resides in many colinized countries. This book opens up ones eyes. Thank you

Amazing story telling, very informative read. I didn’t have an idea of the history and I love how it’s embedded in the story.

This was an amazing book full of well developed characters over several generations connected by family but also the colour of their skin. Heart breaking to hear how people of colour in Australia were and are treated and as a Pakistani immigrant in the Uk I could really relate to the experiences of many of the characters. This is an important book which deserves to be widely read and it is beautifully written and narrated.

Wow - an epic story that needs to be told
