Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Finalist in the Queenland Literary Awards 2017Longlisted in the Dublin Literary Awards 2017A story about a love that transcends all boundaries, from one of Australias best loved authors.5 AUGUST, 1944.Over 1000 Japanese soldiers break out of the No.12 Prisoner of War compound on the fringes of Cowra. In the carnage, hundreds are killed, many are recaptured, and some take their own lives rather than suffer the humiliation of ongoing defeat.But one soldier, Hiroshi, manages to escape.At nearby Erambie Station, an Aboriginal mission, Banjo Williams, father of five and proud man of his community, discovers Hiroshi, distraught and on the run. Unlike most of the townsfolk who dislike and distrust the Japanese, the people of Erambie choose compassion and offer Hiroshi refuge. Mary, Banjos daughter, is intrigued by the softly spoken stranger, and charged with his care.For the community, life at Erambie is one of restriction and exclusion living under Acts of Protection and Assimilation, and always under the ruthless eye of the mission Manager. On top of wartime hardships, families live without basic rights.Love blossoms between Mary and Hiroshi, and they each dream of a future together. But how long can Hiroshi be hidden safely and their bond kept a secret?Praise for Barbed Wire and Cherry Blossoms'Meticulously researched, and the result is Heisss great achievement: the reader is transported in place and time. The Australian'Tact and intelligence are sustained to the end of this bold novel of the wartime home front. Sydney Morning HeraldWith deftness and a lightness of touch Heiss's strengths as a writer are on full display. The Conversation Synopsis coming soon.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'There are books you encounter as an adult that you wish you could press into the hands of your younger self. Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray is one of those books - a novel that turns Australia's long-mythologised settler history into a raw and resilient heartsong.' - Guardian _______________________________________________ Gundagai, 1852 The powerful Murrumbidgee River surges through town leaving death and destruction in its wake. It is a stark reminder that while the river can give life, it can just as easily take it away. Wagadhaany is one of the lucky ones. She survives. But is her life now better than the fate she escaped? Forced to move away from her miyagan, she walks through each day with no trace of dance in her step, her broken heart forever calling her back home to Gundagai. When she meets Wiradyuri stockman Yindyamarra, Wagadhaany's heart slowly begins to heal. But still, she dreams of a better life, away from the degradation of being owned. She longs to set out along the river of her ancestors, in search of lost family and country. Can she find the courage to defy the White man's law? And if she does, will it bring hope . or heartache? Set on timeless Wiradyuri country, where the life-giving waters of the rivers can make or break dreams, and based on devastating true events, B ila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray ( River of Dreams ) is an epic story of love, loss and belonging. Praise for B ila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray ( River of Dreams ) 'Heiss fuses fiction with realism, conjuring a resonance still felt in Blak struggle today . packs heart into every page.' - Saturday Paper 'Tells a powerful and affecting tale of Aboriginal people's identity, community and deep connection to country.' - Canberra Times ' A profoundly moving showcase of Heiss' skill . Intimate, reflective, and impossible to put down.' - The AU Review 'Engrossing and wonderful storytelling . I really loved these strong, brave Wiradyuri characters.' - Melissa Lucashenko 'A powerful story of family, place and belonging.' - Kate Grenville 'A remarkable story of courage and a love of country . Anita Heiss writes with heart and energy on every page .' - Tony Birch ' It is a love story, a story of loss, a hopeful story . The river is a guide, but you have to be open to its spiritual lessons .' - Terri Janke 'Anita Heiss is at the height of her storytelling powers in this inspiring, heart-breaking, profound tale .' - Larissa Behrendt 'The novel flows like the great Murrumbidgee River itself, with powerful undercurrents that sweep the reader along - I feel it's a book that all Australians should read , to try and understand why our colonial past still causes so much pain and grievance.' - Kate Forsyth Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Age range 7+'These stories form part of our collective history, the way we speak of and live culture still today, and the importance of passing on such stories to younger generations.' Dr. Anita Heiss, Ed.Growing up Wiradjuri is a collection of personal stories by Wiradjuri Elders. The writers are Uncles and Aunties who came of age in New South Wales in the 1950s and 1960s.In a strong collective voice, they share the difficulties of growing up under the rule of the welfare board. Some describe their experiences of evading capture by the welfare mob, or of being stolen and forced into state care away from their families. Some describe experiencing racism in school, the trials of poverty and family separation.Alongside the difficulties of marginal life, backbreaking labour and family separation, they also detail their fond memories of their own Elders, Aunts and Uncles who cared for them and taught them culture. Contributors describe happy memories of family and community life on country, working the land, sitting around campfires, hunting, fishing, and playing games in the bush with their cousins, brothers and sisters. They talk about the values that were imparted to them by staunch parents and grandparents, about what it means to come from a family where everyone takes care of each other during hard times, and the work they have done to build stronger communities. Every contributor has important advice to share with the next generation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

When white people started building on the floodplains, Yarri was worried. He knew the power of the bila and tried to warn the strangers, but they would not listen. Years later, the big rains came . This is the story of the Great Flood of Gundagai in 1852 and the Wiradyuri heroes, Yarri and Jacky Jacky, who paddled bark canoes through raging floodwaters, risking their lives to save countless others.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. I am deadly, desirable and delicious! This is Alice's mantra as she hilariously negotiates her way through the rocky terrain of singledom. Alice Aigner is successful, independent and a confirmed serial dater but at her ten-year school reunion she has a sudden change of heart. Bored rigid by her married, mortgaged and motherly former classmates, Alice decides to prove that a woman can have it all: a man, marriage, career, kids and a mind of her own. She sets herself a goal: meet the perfect man and marry him before her thirtieth birthday, just under two years away. Together with her best friends Dannie, Liza and Peta, Alice draws up a ten-point plan. Then, with a little help from her family and friends, she sets out to find Mr Right. Unfortunately for Alice, it's not quite as easy as she imagines Who could not fall in love with our Koori heroine as she dates (among others): Renan, whose career goal is to be the world's best moonwalker and male hula dancer; Tufu the commitment-phobic Samoan football player; scary Simon the one-night stand; and Paul - Mr Dreamboat, but perhaps too good to be true. All the while, Alice skilfully avoids dating Cliff, son of her mum's friend and confirmed bachelor who isn't likely to settle down with a woman anytime soon.
