Description - True Country by Kim Scott

From the two-time winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award, the Australian Book Review describes Kim Scott's True Country as ' a vital, often lyrical and always uncompromising novel.'

Billy, a young school teacher, arrives in Karnama, a remote settlement in Australia's far north, in search of his own history, his Aboriginality and his future. Gradually the outsider in drawn in, and finds himself engaging deeply, irrevocably, not only with the moments of desolation and despair, but also with the great heart and spirit of the people. Finally, the exile enters the true country.
