From Kim Scott, two-times winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award, comes a haunting yet optimistic novel charged with ambition and poetry, in equal parts brutal, mysterious and idealistic, about a young woman cast into a drama that has been playing for over two hundred years . . .
"Come close. Closer." The spilling wheat, "Golden, it has both the look and sound of great wealth." Kim Scott reads from his award winning novel TABOO at the Library of Congress Book Festival in Washington, DC.
