À propos de cet audio
'Lucashenko is a national treasure: there are no two ways around it.' Vogue Australia
* Already the winner of eight major literary awards, including Australia's richest literary prize *
TWO EXTRAORDINARY STORIES SET FIVE GENERATIONS APART ARE CONNECTED BY A VIOLENT COLONIAL HISTORY, IN MELISSA LUCASHENKO'S STUNNING HISTORICAL EPIC
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.
Miles Franklin Award-winning Indigenous author Melissa Lucashenko asks readers to consider what might have been and, also, what could be.

'Gripping, political, horny, moving and very, very funny. Make it into a film already.'—Guardian
'Melissa is the big gust of leaf-laden wind that we needed.' —Tim Winton
'[Edenglassie] unpicks the myths of Brisbane's colonial history and puts the shocking brutality and injustice of British occupation under eye-opening scrutiny. With the dual timeline, we see how that past continues to leave its mark on the present and future as we connect deeply with Melissa's cast of beautifully drawn characters.’ —Australian Women's Weekly
