A Kindness Cup

"A writer of astonishing gifts." --Publishers Weekly

Text Classics presents four key works from Thea Astley, including two never previously released in the United States.
Two decades after a massacre of local Aboriginal people, the former residents of a Queensland town reunite to celebrate the prosperity of their community. But not everyone wants to celebrate. A reckoning with oppression, guilt and the weight of the past.
Thea Astley (1925-2004) won Australia's prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award four times. She remains one of the most distinctive and influential Australian novelists of the twentieth century.
