To enter, tell us the state in which Goodbye Lullaby is set.
Set in northern Queensland in the 1950s and 1970s, Goodbye Lullaby touches on the sensitive issues of the time – adoption, the stolen generation, conscription, draft-dodging and the Vietnam War. The themes in this book come from Jan’s real-life experience: her opposition to the war in Vietnam in the 1970s, her cousin’s experience staying in a home for young unmarried mothers, and her time spent with the Wujal Wujal women of the Kuku Yalanji, listening to their history and stories. Jan is a beautiful writer and Goodbye Lullaby takes an extremely poignant and honest look at Australian culture during this very controversial time in our history.
