Shadowlines
Shadowlines | Stephen Kinnane
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A powerful and lyrical work by a writer of vision and imagination, Shadow Lines is the story of Jessie Argyle, born in the remote East Kimberley and taken from her Aboriginal family at the age of five, and Edward Smith, a young Englishman escaping the rigid strictures of London. In a society deeply divided on racial lines, Edward and Jessie met, fell in love and, against strong opposition, eventually married. Despite unrelenting surveillance and harassment, the Smith home was a centre for Aboriginal cultural and social life for over thirty years.

Just an amazing book. A story of love amid a sea of hate driven by small minded people. How hate of minorities continues to this day is a tragedy of the human race.

“If power is the ability of others to make you inhabit their story of you, this power can only be contained by the rigidity of ignorance and the inability to question and to learn.”
