The Oldest Song in the World

On the surface this is a story about Kate, a lonely student linguist from the city, who is way out of her depth in the desert community where she has gone to find the Aboriginal woman who can reveal to her the oldest song in the world. But this novel also powerfully illustrates the complexities and truths of indigenous Australia and the whites who are trying to help them.

Its insights and gentle humour will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
