Two extraordinary stories set five generations apart are connected by a violent colonial history, in Melissa Lucashenko's stunning historical epic

'Lucashenko is a national treasure: there are no two ways around it.' Vogue Australia

* Already the winner of eight major literary awards, including Australia's richest literary prize *

TWO UNFORGETTABLE STORIES. TWO FAMILIES. TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY.

1854: When Mulanyin meets the beautiful Nita in Brisbane – or Edenglassie, as it was once briefly known – his community still outnumbers the British settlers. Tensions are simmering just beneath the surface of a fragile peace, but hopes for independence are running high. Yet when colonial unrest tears through the region, Mulanyin's passion for his new bride clashes with his loyalty to a homeland in danger.

Two centuries later, fiery activist Winona meets Dr Johnny when her grandmother Eddie has a serious fall. Winona just wants the obstinate centenarian back on her feet, but a shrewd journalist has other ideas. Eddie becomes a local celebrity, dominating the headlines as 'Queensland's Oldest Aboriginal'.

Her time in the spotlight brings past and present crashing together, the legacy of Nita and Mulanyin's tragic past reaching into Winona and Eddie's lives with consequences they couldn't have predicted.

Review

“A practical and well-researched guide to help parents and guardians create an environment conducive to children’s learning.”- Lydia Olszak, Library Journal

“[The authors] make a strong case in this smart manual for encouraging children’s natural inquisitiveness to build their love of learning…Educators and parents looking to deepen children’s love of learning should check this out.”- Publishers Weekly

“This inspiring, science-informed, and practical guide helps you turn your home into a launchpad that prepares your children not only for school but also for the awaiting world. Full of suggestions for how to develop the curiosity and courage needed to ask fundamental questions about life, this is a wonderful contribution to the parenting tool kit. Thank you, Ken and Marsha Bain!”- Daniel J. Siegel, MD, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Whole-Brain Child

“In this essential guide, Ken and Marsha Bain offer a transformative vision for how parents can nurture their children's natural love of learning. Drawing on compelling research and real family stories, they show how any parent can create an environment where curiosity thrives and setbacks become opportunities for growth. This book is a much-needed antidote to the perfectionism and disengagement that result from our narrow focus on school performance, offering parents practical ways to foster curiosity, deep learning, and a growth mindset instead. At a time when many children feel pressured to chase grades rather than understanding, The Learning Household provides practical wisdom for raising kids who don't just succeed in school but develop the creative and critical thinking skills they'll need throughout their lives.”- Dr. Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids

“This book provides excellent information about sparking curiosity, successful learning strategies, regulating emotions, the powers and dangers of technology and social media, and much more. The Bains base their recommendations on research and their experiences in education over many years. I highly recommend it.”- Henry L. Roediger III, coauthor of Make It Stick

“The powerful ideas and elegant prose in this book-with its mind-expanding mix of narrative, history, research, and science-make it destined to become a parenting classic. Ken and Marsha Bain illuminate how parents can create a learning household, one that will nurture children who thrive in school and in life.”- James M. Lang, author of Distracted
