Every summer, Colin left his home in Oregon and lived with his mother's people, in Kinnikinick Valley, Montana. In 1926, Colin was 16 years old. That was the summer he came to terms with his Indian heritage with help from his 84-year-old great grandmother. Aunt Nora was a Pikuni, who rememered the days before the railroad came through. In 1859, Angus MacAntire came to the village and fell in love with Nora. They lived with her people until famine drove them to live in the white settlement. Angus became a rich man, whose children owned the finest ranch in the valley, but every summer, Aunt Nora returned to a lodge under the trees. As Colin and Nora begin to understand each other, Colin's view changes as he hears "breed" as a word of contempt, and as he develops a shy love for Marie Dupree, a Cree girl.
'The best Australian novel on war since David Malouf's Ransom.' Richard Glover Packed into tiny boats, Michael, his brother Dan and their mates think only of what is to come. These young Australians miss home, hate the enemy and are choking in fear. After the surreal panic of that first dawn charge up the Turkish beaches, when nothing is as they were told, they dig in. For the next eight months, each will play his part in the epic battle of Gallipoli. Trying to survive in the lottery of close warfare and watching as the seasons change, Michael comes to wonder whether the men he fights are so different from himself. Wedged in the trenches, soldiers of both sides will be irrevocably changed by two relentless forces - the turning seasons and the grinding machine of war. Even if they survive, what will they become? This powerfully lyrical novel by acclaimed screenwriter Christopher Lee (writer of the TV series Gallipoli) takes us to the heart of the diggers' experience. It brings to life the kind of truth that only fiction can - what it was like to be in those trenches, and how the character of the nation transformed when Gallipoli changed these men. 'As brilliant as fiction could be at putting us in the shoes of, on the beaches and in the trenches with, the men who fought and died in droves during that fateful campaign . . . Deeply imagined, unfolding with stark lyricism the traumatic reality of the past. Fiction worthy of its grave subject, I'd be surprised if it doesn't make the literature syllabus in our schools.' Cameron Woodhead, The Age 'Stands comparison with Erich Maria Remarque's classic All Quiet on the Western Front and Australian Frederic Manning's acclaimed Her Privates We . . . Deserves to be read widely.' Ross Southernwood, Sydney Morning Herald
Gideon Haigh has had a front-row seat during that decline and Uncertain Corridors collects the best of his despatches, narrating the collapse of cricket's traditional structures and the uneasy and troubled evolution of its new order, through the stories of Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Shane Warne and others. As the game grows richer and crazier worldwide, thanks to the financial might of the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the unstoppable spread of T20, this is the essential guide - sports journalism at its most informed, passionate and uncompromisingly independent. 'The skill of writer Gideon Haigh is that he makes his detours into the ignored corners of cricket as fascinating as his insights into the games biggest names and issues.' Courier Mail Praise for On Warne 'The most gifted cricket essayist of his generation.' The Guardian 'Utterly addictive . . . this is cricket writing as art.' Australian Book Review 'Exceptional . . . engrossing'. Herald Sun 'Haigh writes as poetically as Warne bowled . . . Simply irresistible.' Ken Piesse, Universal's Summer Cricket Tour Guide 2012-13
