Product Description:
Country of the Heart is a marvellous journey to the floodplains, south-west of Darwin in Australia's Top End. It is an adventure for the imagination and the soul, and above all a revelation. This book welcomes us into the country, culture, lives and stories of the MakMak clan (the white-breasted sea-eagle people). In Deborah Bird Rose's writing and Sharon D'Amico's photography, we meet five extraordinary clan women: Nancy Daiyi, Kathy Deveraux, Margaret Daiyi, April Bright and Linda Ford. They share their world with us - their family, their laughter and their passion for their country. In learning something of the ecology and sacred geography of the clan's homeland, we are prompted to enlarge our own thinking, and to ask questions about the future of our heart's own country, wherever our homeland may be.
