Thing Apart

An incredible novel, detailing both a simple love story, and the impact of the arrival of the white man, on the Australian Aboriginals, told from the viewpoint of a native Australian, about to be married. "...a powerful piece, written with passion and compassion. The reader can only be deeply touched...by the story, but the images it evokes, and by the impact they have on his/her perceptions of Aboriginal people and their lives....great writing. It is hard to imagine a fictional work which better imparts an understanding of the impact and implications of wiping out a race."Parkin, Andrew is the author of 'Thing Apart ', published 2002 under ISBN 9781899293087 and ISBN 1899293086.
