About this listen
The award-winning saga that has become an essential addition to modern Australian literature.
His father dead by fire and his mother plagued by demons of her own, William is cast upon the charity of his unknown uncle - an embittered old man encamped in the ruins of a once great station homestead, Kuran House.
It's a baffling and sinister new world for the boy, a place of decay and secret histories. His uncle is obsessed by a long life of decline and by a dark quest for revival, his mother is desperate for a wealth and security she has never known, and all their hopes it seems come to rest upon William's young shoulders.
But as the past and present of Kuran Station unravel and merge together, the price of that inheritance may prove to be the downfall of them all.
The White Earth is a haunting, disturbing and cautionary tale.

Wonderful story
I really enjoyed the story and the Australian historical references. I agree with another reviewer who didn’t like the music between chapters. I like listening as I go to sleep and the music grated on me as it kept waking me up. Otherwise it was well performed and written

Gripping and beautifully written
Couldn't put it down. The performance was great too. Particularly loved the historical references and way it was written. Really good.

Marvellous story but..
Such a good story with excellent narration.. The only annoyance was the dreadful, tinny, ‘music’ which blasted out to introduce each chapter, It actually played over the narration at the start of each chapter. Totally spoils the atmosphere of the story..

Magnificent story!
Loved this book. Another great read from McGahan, an author who will be sadly missed.

Boring and weird
I disliked everything about this boring book. There seemed to be no “story” for all the many words used.
I could not describe the intent of the book, even though there were words like ‘native title’, ‘mabo’, and mention of landmarks and Politicians.
I did not finish it after giving it a good try of 20 or so chapters.
Who came up with the loud music introductions to each chapter? A very poor decision.
