Kate Grenville
“We were two sets of people inhabiting the same space, each set going about its affairs as if the other were not there.”
Kate Grenville, A Room Made of Leaves

“As the car disappeared down the road, old Granny Frinda lay crumpled on the red dirt calling for her granddaughters and cursing the people responsible for their abduction. In their grief the women asked why their children should be taken from them. Their anguished cries echoed across the flats, carried by the wind. But no one listened to them, no one heard them.”
Doris Pilkington, Rabbit-Proof Fence
