"Part of all my prize money over the years has gone to people in desperate need, usually in my family, but not always. You're not much of a Blackfella if you have a roof over your head and food in the fridge and people close to you don't... A central tenet of traditional culture is to share when you can."
"Edenglassie was selected from 175 nominations by the Nib prize judging panel: ... Its prose sparks with electricity and the characters linger long in the reader's mind. It is a book that expands understanding. It takes readers on a journey involving the heart, the mind and the eye."
"The novel explores how people try to live with the trauma that history has delivered them, and their love for country. It begins in the 19th century when Aboriginal people still outnumbered the colonisers, and stretches forward in time, connecting the horrors of invasion to its ongoing effects on contemporary Aboriginal lives."
