      Winner of multiple prestigious literary awards in 2020, including the Miles Franklin Literary Award and the NSW Premier's Literary Awards, this poignant narrative follows Albert ‘Poppy’ Gondiwindi as he faces his impending death. Residing by the Murrumby River at Prosperous House on Massacre Plains, Albert writes to preserve the language and memories of his people. Meanwhile, August Gondiwindi, who has spent a decade abroad, returns home upon learning of her grandfather’s death. Overwhelmed by grief and the weight of her past, she discovers that their ancestral land is threatened by a mining company. Her return is both a reunion with her family and a confrontation with the challenges facing her community. Driven to protect their heritage, August embarks on a journey that connects her with her grandfather’s voice, the history of her people, and the river’s secrets. This beautifully crafted tale is a profound exploration of dispossession, celebrating the resilience of Indigenous culture, language, and identity while reclaiming the stories that endure through generations.
