The Prize for Indigenous Writing: Winner 2004
Judges reportHer Sister’s Eye by Vivienne Cleven (University of Queensland Press)
Her Sister’s Eye asks us to ‘always remember where you’re from’, which provides a sense of place familiar to indigenous communities across Australia. Vivienne Cleven explores this theme poignantly through the families and individual characters who map the landscape of the Queensland town of Mundra; through the relationships within and between families and the wider communities; through the intricacies of mannered behaviour and secrets. It is a novel that provides us with an insight into growing up and living ‘black’ in Australia.
