Edenglassie is a groundbreaking novel, bringing to life the rich history and culture of First Nations people one generation after first contact; it is also an unflinching act of truth-telling. One strand of the novel focuses on a young saltwater couple, Mulanyin and Nita, struggling to forge a relationship during the colonial violence of Magandjin/Brisbane in the 1850s. The other strand is a contemporary narrative that interrogates our understanding of that same history. Granny Eddie Blanket and her granddaughter Winona both command attention in their understanding of how the past is seen, how its tragedies are carried and who may tell these stories.
