Description

This revelatory story of the most tragic, cruel, brave and misguided episode in Australia's history - the "saving" of a unique race, the Tasmanian Aborigines - is seen through the eyes of an obsessive young present day narrator. Breathtaking and visionary in its scope, The Savage Crows breaks new fictional ground in its affecting portrayal of the collision of worlds, generations and mythologies. from suburban apathy and cynicism blossoms a wild foolhardy and beautiful hinterland of time and space.
