A story of homecoming, this engrossing novel opens with a young, city-based lawyer setting out on her first visit to ancestral country. Candice arrives at 'the place where the rivers meet', the camp of the Eualeyai where in 1918 her grandmother Garibooli was abducted. As Garibooli takes up the story of Candice's Aboriginal family, the twentieth century falls away.
Garibooli, now renamed Elizabeth, is sent to work as a housemaid, but marriage soon offers escape from the terror of the master's night-time visits. Her displacement carries into the lives of her seven children -- their stories witness to the impact of orphanage life and the consequences of having dark skin in post-war Australia. Vividly rekindled, the lives of her family point the direction home for Candice.
Home is a powerful first novel from an award-winning author who understands the power of stories to bridge past and present.

    This books gives insight into the emotional backstory of a culture by telling the story of one family. I appreciated learning more about the history of the Indigenous culture of Australia through a well told fictional story.

    Book came brand new however the format wasn't what I was expecting. It was the size of a text book and has extra large writing for the visually impaired. Slightly disappointing.

    4.0 out of 5 stars SO good
    Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was moved to tears towards the end of this story and powerfully so. I was not expecting the part which made me sob and I am always a fan of an author who can tug at my emotions so well. This is the story of Garibooli, the grandmother of the young attorney that we are introduced to in the first part of book. The novel is mainly about Garibooli (aka Elizabeth) and her family tree through the decades. Garibooli was kidnapped in 1918 when she was 10 years old - she was sent to be a kitchen maid of a white household in another town of Australia. Her brother witnesses this horrific event and couldn't save her and by not being able to help, he feels guilty his entire life and that sense of loss and helplessness flows steady the entire book. This novel encompasses Garibooli's family members onward and the reader discovers their lives as well and what happened to them as the years went by. This was an epic read - almost too much for one book. Several characters were unnecessary and made the story lag in these bits. At the core, Garibooli and her brother were such beautiful characters and how the author wove their souls together even though they were apart was amazing. So glad I read this Aussie gem.

    This novel was not to my taste and I tried hard to like it. It is well written but I only lasted for fifty pages and do not want to comment further.
