Description
In the messy, violent, and vital present of Noongar country, this candid and generous novel follows Tilly, a girl on the cusp of adulthood, whose life is upended when she learns the truth about her father—Aboriginal, incarcerated, and longing to see her. As Tilly’s story unfolds, the book confronts the thorny realities of reconciliation in Australia, asking what it means to move forward when history is still present in families, communities, and everyday choices. With Kim Scott’s distinctive, humane storytelling, the novel blends emotional immediacy with moral urgency, illuminating how identity, belonging, and responsibility collide. Ultimately, it’s a powerful exploration of taboo truths—what is hidden, what is inherited, and what must be faced to build something honest and lasting.
