Lenora Thaker captures the heart with its moving, sobering, and inspiring story of a young Torres Strait Islander woman and her family living in Tagai Town, a shantytown on the far
northeast coast of Australia in the 1930s and 40s in this beautifully written novel, The Pearl of Tagai Town.
It offers a unique cultural perspective and rich language that stands out in Australian literature. Pearl’s epic story of resilience is one that all Australians should read. The vivid and authentic descriptions make you almost smell the aroma of the famed semur chicken, hear the rain on tin roofs as the rain drops its payload, and feel the laughter and love in the air as everyone pulls together.
