The Yield
by Tara June Winch
"A dying man writes a dictionary of his language, every word a piece of stolen land reclaimed."
As Albert 'Poppy' Gondiwindi nears death, he races to record the Wiradjuri language, one word at a time — while his granddaughter August returns home to find their land sold to a mining company. Three voices, one country, and a language that refuses to die.
