About this listen
‘What does it mean to be on land that was taken from other people? Now that we know how the taking was done, what do we do with that knowledge?’
Kate Grenville is no stranger to the past. Her success and fame as a writer exploded when she published The Secret River in 2005, a bestseller based on the story of her convict ancestor, an early settler on the Hawkesbury River.
More than two decades on, and following the defeat of the Voice referendum, Grenville is still grappling with what it means to descend from people who were, as she puts it, 'on the sharp edge of the moving blade that was colonisation'.
So she decides to go on a kind of pilgrimage, back through the places her family stories happened, and put the stories and the First People back into the same frame, on the same country, to try to think about those questions.
This gripping audiobook is the result of that journey.

Confronting our pain in the colonising war against Aboriginal people
Loved Kate’s narration of her insightful, confronting and ultimately inspiring novel. There is a way forward, finding our way through the pain is the only way. Kate also draws attention to the past and ongoing erasure of the indigenous culture in Australia, the way it can still be observed occurring in plain sight. Highly recommended

Actually narrated by author - absolutely no misunderstanding of what is meant. Concise direct factual.
I liked it all. Quietly woven. No melodrama just an honest first person account of family history.

The tragic story of English colonisation of Aboriginal Gondwana.
The narration by the author made for smooth listening to an amazing and honest record of a family history in the settlement of colonial Australia.
