Darnmoor, la porte du bonheur. Le panneau provoque un imbécile en lui faisant ressentir un sentiment d'accomplissement, une sorte de fin - comme si vous aviez atteint une destination au minimum. Pourtant, comme l'indique le panneau, Darnmoor n'est qu'une porte d'entrée, un point de passage sur la route qui mène à l'endroit où vous voulez vraiment être. Darnmoor est la maison de la famille Billymil, trois générations qui ont vécu dans cette « ville-porte ». Les relations raciales entre les familles indigènes et les familles de colons sont tendues, bien que le statu quo rigide soit maintenu par des menaces et un soft power plutôt que par la violence manifeste d'antan. Au fur et à mesure que le progrès avance, Darnmoor et ses environs subissent des changements sociaux et environnementaux rapides, mais si certaines choses changent, d'autres restent exactement les mêmes. La famille Billymil est surveillée (et parfois visitée) par les esprits ancestraux et les esprits des personnes récemment décédées, qui veillent sur leurs descendants et tentent de les aider à trouver le bon chemin. Lorsque les secrets de la ville commenceront à être dévoilés, elle sera secouée par un acte de violence qui brisera à jamais un siècle de silence.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Darnmoor, The Gateway to Happiness. The sign taunts a fool into feeling some sense of achievement, some kind of end- that you have reached a destination in the very least. Yet as the sign states, Darnmoor is merely a gateway, a waypoint on the road to where you really want to be. Darnmoor is the home of the Billymil family, three generations who have lived in this 'gateway town'. Race relations between Indigenous and settler families are fraught, though the rigid status quo is upheld through threats and soft power rather than the overt violence of yesteryear. As progress marches forwards, Darnmoor and its surrounds undergo rapid social and environmental changes, but as some things change, some stay exactly the same. The Billymil family are watched (and sometimes visited) by ancestral spirits and spirits of the recently deceased, who look out for their descendants and attempt to help them on the right path. When the town's secrets start to be uncovered the town will be rocked by a violent act that forever shatters a century of silence. Full of music, Yuwaalaraay language and exquisite description, Song of the Crocodile is a lament to choice and change, and the unyielding land that sustains us all, if only we could listen to it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780733643743
