In 1982 Sally Morgan travelled to her grandmother's birthplace, Corunna Downs Station in Western Australia. She wants to trace the experiences of her childhood andolescence in Perth in the 1950's. Through memories and images, hints and echoes begin to emerge and another story unfolds - the mystery of her aboriginal identity. Gradually her whole family is drawn in to the saga and her great-uncle, her mother and finally her grandmother tell their stories in turn.

I bought this book while traveling Australia and must admit that I expected more. I worked my way through nearly half of the book and then gave up. Until then, the Aboriginal past of Sally Morgans grandmother has just been mentioned but not yet discussed. And the story until then is simply trivial and could take place more or less everywhere, not just in Australia.

Der Bücherschrank wird heute feierlich eröffnet und dazu gibt es ein paar Bookcrossing-Bücher von mir.
