Dingo: The Story of Our Mob by Sally Dingo

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Tiny chip to tail foredge. Dust jacket has only light creasing to edges. Interior and binding are excellent.

The story of one of Australia's most loved film and television personalities. The Dingo family history follows the formula of any self-respecting soap opera. It's full of life, death, laughter, violence, struggle, children, poverty, alcohol, and, surprisingly, success.

It is the stuff of overblown fiction. It is also a history shared with every other Aboriginal family, a history still unknown to many Australians. Dingo makes that incredible story truly accessible to non-Aboriginal Australians. Told through the eyes of Ernie Dingo's wife, Sally, it comes alive.

It is also Sally's story. Emerging from her white middle-class existence in a sleepy Tasmanian town, Sally marries a charismatic actor and the turbulent Dingo tribe. She finds much to love and much to cry about.

With the unique perspective of a white woman adopted by an Aboriginal family who can write about her experiences with great skill and warmth, Dingo is a story to be treasured. (book flap)
