Edenglassie

Melissa Lucashenko

UWCSEA Community Reviews


Reviewer

Miles Franklin award winner 2019. A work of fiction, yet steeped in what Lucashenko called 'historical verasity' of her research.  An important read, especially for our Australian community, I would argue. -sed

----

Australian First Nations author and story. This is a story that centres the indigenous experience of colonisation in a deeply authentic, multilayered, dramatic story. -pjw

Goodreads:

Two extraordinary Indigenous 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 Granny 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. In this brilliant epic novel, Melissa Lucashenko torches Queensland' s colonial myths, while reimagining an Australian future.
