Reviews

"It is a tragedy that Australia has so few first-person accounts of Aboriginal life in the 19th century, but Aboriginal Studies Press is attempting to redress the balance with fine contemporary accounts. This is a simple but beautifully told story of the life of Claire Henty-Gebert, the daughter of an Aboriginal woman and a vicious property owner." --Bruce Elder, "Sydney Morning Herald"
