Mullumbimby

Praise For Mullumbimby

“It was Miles Franklin Award-winning writer Alexis Wright who told Lucashenko it was high time that she wrote another novel. Ms Wright went further and told her that the unwritten manuscript should be nothing less than a hymn to the ancestors. Mullumbimby is all that and more.”

Daniel Browning, Books & Arts Daily, Radio National, February 2013

“Mullumbimby is a modern tale of the clash between cultures, of the importance of belonging, and surprisingly, of the pitfalls of making assumptions about other people. It deserves the widest readership.”

Bookseller and Publisher, February 2013

“Apart from the story, there are many things to enjoy about this novel; the larrikin humour and the wonderful experience of being immersed in the Australian/ Bundjalung language. Lucashenko’s compassion towards the feisty Jo shines on every page and Jo is a woman it’s impossible not to like.

This is a novel perfectly cast for modern times as well as celebrating the physical beauty of the country and its deep historical and spiritual meaning. BUY THE BOOK.”
