Byron Writers Festival is thrilled to present award-winning Bundjalung author, Melissa Lucashenko in conversation with Kerry O’Brien about her latest novel Edenglassie.
Set in Brisbane when First Nations people still outnumber the colonists, Edenglassie tells two extraordinary stories set five generations apart. In this brilliant epic, Lucashenko torches Queensland’s colonial myths, while reimagining an Australian future.
About Edenglassie
When Mulanyin meets the beautiful Nita in Edenglassie, their saltwater people still outnumber the British. As colonial unrest peaks, Mulanyin dreams of taking his bride home to Yugambeh Country, but his plans for independence collide with white justice.
Two centuries later, fiery activist Winona meets Dr Johnny. Together they care for obstinate centenarian Grannie Eddie, and sparks fly, but not always in the right direction. What nobody knows is how far the legacies of the past will reach into their modern lives.
In this brilliant epic, Melissa Lucashenko torches Queensland’s colonial myths, while reimagining an Australian future.
