Beschreibung
Dirrayawadhais full of heart and hope, truth-telling and history and shimmers with language too GuardianA story from the past given vivid life for new understanding' Kate Grenville_______________________________________________Bathurst, 1820sMiinaa was a young girl when the white ghosts first arrived. She remembers the day they raised a piece of cloth and renamed her homeland Bathurst. Now she lives at Cloverdale and works for a white family who have settled there. The Nugents are kind, but Miinaa misses her miyagan. His brother, Windradyne, is a Wiradyuri leader, and visits when he can, bringing news of unrest across their ngurambang. Miinaa hopes the violence will not come to Cloverdale. When Irish convict Daniel ODwyer arrives at the settlement, Miinaas life is transformed again. The pair are magnetically drawn to each other and begin meeting at the bila in secret. Dan understands how it feels to be displaced, but they still have a lot to learn about each other. Can their love survive their differences and the turmoil that threatens to destroy everything around them? From the bestselling author of Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray (River of Dreams) comes another groundbreaking historical novel about resistance, resilience and love during the frontier wars. Praise for Dirrayawadha (Rise Up):';Dirrayawadhais a story of the courage of the Wiradyuri nation and the love of their Country. Anita Heiss is a remarkable writer. Tony Birch ';To read the book is to enter a lost time, a retrieved war, and to learn much, not least Wiradyuri. With dhuluny (truth) and marrumbang (love) of story, Heiss makes something good. And that is something for which modern Australia can be grateful.'The Age Historical in tone, yet absolutely contemporary in scope,Dirrayawadhais a beautiful triumph.Mirandi Riwoe Dirrayawadhais a beautifully written and masterful telling of a pivotal point in our history.Nicole Alexander
