Ruby Moonlight, a novel of the impact of colonisation in mid north South Australia around 1880. The main character, Ruby, refugee of a massacre, shelters in the woods where she befriends an Irishman trapper. The poems convey how fear of discovery is overcome by the need for human contact, which, in a tense unravelling of events, is forcibly challenged by an Aboriginal lawman. The natural world is richly observed and Ruby's courtship is measured by the turning of the seasons. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book is a lot slimmer than you'd expect of a novel, just 80 pages all up. This is spare, restrained story-telling. If it wasn't for the power generated by the flash of imagery, it would feel like notes for a novel rather than the thing itself. It's a story of ill-starred love. A young Aboriginal woman survives the murder of her community and after wandering for some time with just nature and an ancestor spirit for company, she finds companionship and intimacy with an isolated Irish fur trapper. Their idyll, forbidden by both their cultures, can't last. You might think you know this story before you open the book. You don't. (
