Overview

Koori teenager Darcy Mango is young, broke and on parole. His biggest problem isn’t tracking down his mob in northern New South Wales or finding a place to live. After he gets work on the Menzies horse farm, Darcy’s fate gets mixed up with a strange, old-fashioned camera found in the rainforest. What it reveals might never let him go.

Frances Whiting, The Courier-Mail

‘Lucashenko cements her status as one of our brightest literary talents with the Miles Franklin. Her work bears witness to the Aboriginal underclass, generational trauma and deadly black humour.’
