Description
In this darkly humorous and fiercely alive novel, a queer, First Nations Australian woman returns to her ancestral Bundjalung country to confront her fractured family and protect sacred land. Accused of having "too much lip," she wields her anger as a weapon against the world's injustices, but soon finds herself entangled in the complex dynamics of her family and a looming threat to her grandmother's island. The story delves into generational trauma, the profound connection between identity and place, and the resilience of the human spirit. Lucashenko masterfully blends sharp wit with poignant reflection, creating a confronting yet ultimately life-affirming narrative of survival and pride.
