Description
In this darkly humorous and poignant novel, Jo Breen, a Bundjalung woman and former musician, seeks solace and a fresh start by purchasing a neglected property in the vibrant, yet complex, town of Mullumbimby. Returning to her ancestral lands, Jo finds herself navigating the intricate tapestry of modern Australian life, where romantic love and cultural warfare collide. As she grapples with the challenges of rebuilding her life and protecting her daughter, Jo confronts the enduring legacy of colonialism and the fight for Indigenous sovereignty. Lucashenko masterfully weaves a narrative that is both deeply personal and profoundly political, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the resilience of the human spirit.
