About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

A powerful, heart-wrenching novel about love that endures against pitiless odds.

Kidnapped by sealers and enslaved far from her homeland, Nannertgarrook has a spirit that refuses to bow. Based on the true story of Tasma Walton's ancestor, this is not just what life was like for a First Nations woman on the fringes of colonial society, but also the beautiful tale of how Nannertgarrook's totem and connection to her birthright country keep her spirit strong.

Tasma Walton is a proud Boonwurrung woman from the saltwater country of Melbourne and surrounding coastlines. Her work across both film and television has seen her nominated for multiple AACTA Awards. Tasma’s first novel, Heartless, was nominated for an ABIA Award for General Fiction.

Organised in partnership with Constant Reader Bookshop.
