It is wonderfully entertaining." -- New York Times Book Review "A triumphant story that makes you glad it's been told." -- Times on Sunday "Sad and wise and funny . unbelievably and unexpectedly moving, Sally Morgan's love for her own spiritual and racial roots and her struggle to uncover them reveals a new Australia (the old) and a new way to embrace the elders and the young of all our peoples, wherever (and whoever) they might be. A book with heart." -- Alice Walker, author, The Color Purple "Funny and sad and very real:a satisfying and absorbing book, a unique record." -- Pittburgh Press "A moving and quite remarkable account of personal discovery.

" -- Sydney Morning Herald "One of the most significant milestones in Aboriginal literature." -- Australian Magazine.
