BOOK REVIEW

The Yield by Tara June Winch

Winner of the 2020 Miles Franklin Literary Award, this profoundly moving story is told in three voices: August who has returned from the other side of the world to family and country; the Wiradjuri dictionary entries of her grandfather, Albert Gondiwindi; and, the letters of a 19th Century Rev Greenleaf. Winch acknowledges contributions from Geoff Anderson, Parkes Wiradjuri Language Group and Parkes Aboriginal Education & Consultative Group.
