Description
The White Girl is a deeply resonant novel that explores the complexities of human interaction and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love. Set in 1960s Australia, Tony Birch's immersive story delves into the dark secrets simmering beneath the surface of a small country town.
Against this backdrop, Odette Brown must navigate the challenges of raising her granddaughter, Sissy, who possesses white skin despite being Aboriginal. As she faces threats from authorities and racist attitudes, Odette's courage and cunning are put to the test in a bid to save Sissy and uncover the truth about her daughter's disappearance.
Bolstered by love, intelligence, and the strength of their ancestors, Odette and Sissy form an indomitable force that handles adversity with grace and ingenuity. This powerful novel is a testament to the resilience of Indigenous families in the face of systemic racism and oppression.
