Set in Brisbane when First Nations people still outnumber the colonists, award-winning Goorie author Melissa Lucashenko tells two extraordinary stories set five generations apart.

When Mulanyin meets the beautiful Nita in Edenglassie, their saltwater people still outnumber the British. As colonial unrest peaks, Mulanyin dreams of taking his bride home to Yugambeh Country, but his plans for independence collide with white justice.

Two centuries later, fiery activist Winona meets Dr Johnny. Together they care for obstinate centenarian Grannie Eddie, and sparks fly, but not always in the right direction. What nobody knows is how far the legacies of the past will reach into their modern lives.

Melissa Lucashenko torches Queensland’s colonial myths, while reimagining an Australian future.

This was a deep dive into a whole library of people and places and Lucashenko brought the stories and characters together across generations and places masterfully. I felt like I was watching time unravel. This was my first Lucashenko, now I can’t wait to read her other books.
