About this listen
Evie has been raised in the heart of Aboriginal Redfern, by a proud trailblazing Wiradjuri family. She remembers so much about the previous world - the Dreamtime, the ancestors, and the knowing - but she also harbours a dark pain that is becoming almost too much to bear.
And then Evie meets James, a young man radiating pure love who fills her life with light. On the cusp of adulthood, with their whole lives ahead of them, they travel to Evie's beloved country, the central west of New South Wales and the Riverina regions. Swimming in the waters of the Kalare, as known by the Wiradjuri, and in the Murrumbidgee, singing with her ancestors, listening to the spirits.
The new world created between Evie and James is one they did not know they were missing. Now they can't leave it alone. They are no longer separate - they are one, they are whole together - until a sudden event leaves them seeking answers to one of life's most eternal questions: is love strong enough to withstand anything?
An intense and mesmerising story of first love and longing, suffused with Wiradjuri Dreaming, family and culture, about a future dreamt and a future taken, by an important new voice in Australian fiction.©2022 Yvonne Weldon (P)2022 Penguin Random House Australia

A brilliant, touching and tender book
Yvonne Weldon’s debut novel Sixty-Seven Days is beautiful yet heartbreaking, full of powerful stories, inspiring mentors, faith, courage and hope – and anguish, grief and sorrow too. Sweet Wiradyuri uni student Evie dances between the immense and transformative love she shares with apprentice James, and the harsh and unflinching hate she feels for the predator who has caused her so much pain. There’s the joy of Evie’s connection to Country and culture, to her family and her ancestors, and the ache that James and his family live with through not knowing their history and roots because of the horror of the Stolen Generations.
It’s a brilliant, touching and tender book, beautifully written and incredibly moving, and the audiobook is narrated so wonderfully by my favourite voice actor Tamala Shelton.
As well as being an amazing writer, Yvonne is also a councillor for the City of Sydney (my local council) – the first Aboriginal councillor in the City’s 180-year history. She’s been an activist for thirty years, working tirelessly for Aboriginal rights, for domestic violence victims and on other justice issues, and was announced as a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to the Indigenous community of New South Wales.

It was a struggle
I had to complete this book for a book club and boy did I struggle. The narration is extremely monotone and this took away from the story, which honestly needs all the help it can get. The overly sickly romance between the two main characters took away from more interesting and important issues that also feature through out the book. Extremely predictable and the main characters not that appealing or interesting.
