Such an interesting and refreshing portrayal of an Aboriginal family. As the artist cover wrote (I couldn’t say it better myself): “Even on a flash motorbike, wearing a leather jacket, we belong right where our ancestors have been for generations…”

Kerry and her mob are brilliant, even Elvis the dog and Orange Cat. Her complicated feelings for her family and their trauma, the racism and colonialism they experience in their small community in Bundjalung country, and structural inequity experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are explored on every page of this novel.
