The Black Woman of Gippsland

A woman is tossed ashore from the sea, bedraggled and lost. A century and a half later, another finds herself diving deep into the truth behind a lingering legend.


From writer Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) comes The Black Woman of Gippsland – a poetic and thrilling tale about the myths and half-truths that surround the figure of a ‘white woman’ said to have lived among the Gunaikurnai people of Gippsland in the 1840s.

Set on her grandmother’s country and based on real events, is the truth out of reach, or will it finally be unearthed?
