For #LibFaves24 I am suggesting DIRRAYAWADHA by @dranitaheiss.bsky.social It is an historical novel which speaks of events 200 years ago. It is powerful, bringing First Nations voices to the fore. Make sure you read other books by this author.

Listening to Anita Heiss’s book as we drove south on Saturday made it feel real. The sense of tension and anxiety over lost hunting grounds, lost connections for the original custodians.
