&lsquo\;What does it mean to be on land th at was taken from other people? Now that we know how the taking was done\, what do we do with that knowledge?&rsquo\;
\nKate Grenville is no s tranger to the past. Her success and fame as a writer exploded when she pu blished \;The Secret River \;in 2005\, a bestseller based on the story of her convict ancestor\, an early settler on the Hawkesbury River.
\nMore than two decades on\, and following the defeat of the Voice referendum\, Grenville is still grappling with what it means to des cend from people who were\, as she puts it\, &ldquo\;on the sharp edge of the moving blade that was colonisation&rdquo\;.
\nSo she decides to go on a kind of pilgrimage\, back through the places her family stories ha ppened\, and put the stories and the First People back into the same frame \, on the same country\, to try to think about those questions.
\nTh is gripping book is the result of that journey.
