1. Coonardoo
The novel explores the complex and tragic relationship between the white owner of a cattle station in the Australian Outback and Coonardoo, an Aboriginal woman who grows up on the station. Despite their deep affection for each other, societal norms and racial prejudices of the early 20th century create an insurmountable barrier between them. The story delves into themes of love, race, and the harsh realities of life in the Australian wilderness, while also providing a poignant critique of the treatment of Aboriginal people and the destruction of their culture by white settlers.
