Reprint ed. Paperback large trade, very good condition, pages lightly toned as usual, minor edgewear. 296 pp. This novel by Thea Astley is based loosely on an incident in Palm Island, Queensland, over sixty years ago, but the characters are fictional. In 1930 the superintendent of a mission, driven mad by his wife's death, goes on a murderous rampage. Fearing for their lives, the other whites arm a young Indigenous man and order him to shoot Uncle Boss dead. The novel traces the lead-up to this bloody showdown and the repercussions in the years after for both Aborigines and their colonial overseers. This novel won the 1996 Age Book of the Year Award, and was shortlisted for the 1997 Miles Franklin Award. Seller Inventory # 24685
