Coonardoo (A&R Classics) by Prichard, Katherine Susannah

ISBN: 9780732296933 PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers (Australia) Pty Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 320 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.03.2013 DIMENSIONS: 19.8 x 13 x 2.2 centimetres

DESCRIPTION: A powerful novel about race that's become a classic of Australian literature. A tough, uncompromising novel about the difficult love between a white man and a black woman. Coonardoo is the moving story of a young Aboriginal woman trained from childhood to be the housekeeper at Wytaliba station and, as such, destined to look after its owner, Hugh Watt. the love between Coonardoo and Hugh, which so shocked its readers when the book was first published in 1929, is never acknowledged and so, degraded and twisted in on itself, destroys not only Coonardoo, but also a community which was once peaceful. this frank and daring novel set on the edge of the desert still raises difficult questions about the history of contact between black and white, and its representation in Australian writing.
