'Blood and Bone' is the tale of a man haunted by the violent truths
of his ancestry. Through his attempt to document the remarkable
child-hood of his great-aunt Abigail, we are thrown into life at
the Whangie, an austere outpost at the colonial frontier. With the
death of her mother, eleven-year-old Abigail must learn to fend for
herself against the cruel stewardship of her father. At war with
the local Aboriginals and intent on staking his claim on the land
at any cost, what occurs between the two is a stunning powerplay
that exposes the limits of the human imagination. Inhabiting the
speculative peripheries of the historical record, 'Blood and Bone'
is an uncompromising exploration of Australia's dark history and
its legacy today. Winner of the 2014 Viva La Novella prize.
