How to get what you want by saying what you mean
Be a great leader, but don’t be a jerk. This book tells you how.
Taboo takes place in the present day, in the rural South-West of Western Australia, and tells the story of a group of Noongar people who revisit, for the first time in many decades, a taboo place: the site of a massacre that followed the assassination, by these Noongar's descendants, of a white man who had stolen a black woman. They come at the invitation of Dan Horton, the elderly owner of the farm on which the massacres unfolded. He hopes that by hosting the group he will satisfy his wife's dying wishes and cleanse some moral stain from the ground on which he and his family have lived for generations. But the sins of the past will not be so easily expunged. We walk with the ragtag group through this taboo country and note in them glimmers of re-connection with language, lore, country. We learn alongside them how countless generations of Noongar may have lived in ideal rapport with the land. Taboo won four literary awards, was longlisted for four and shortlisted for three more. It is a novel of survival and renewal, as much as destruction; and, ultimately, of hope as much as despair
Oceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, this intriguing journey is a celebration and lament—of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing, and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilized from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past.
The story features a vibrant character who confidently declares herself as Super Bean, embarking on an adventurous journey filled with excitement and self-discovery. Through her escapades, she showcases her unique abilities and charm, inspiring readers to embrace their individuality. Themes of empowerment and imagination are woven throughout, making it a delightful read for children. The engaging narrative encourages creativity and celebrates the joy of being oneself while navigating challenges and friendships.
The book explores themes of perseverance and resilience through the character of Ms. Kimberly, who encourages C.J. to embrace mistakes as part of the learning process. Her message emphasizes the importance of effort and determination, highlighting that success is not defined by the absence of failure but by the willingness to keep trying. This nurturing perspective aims to inspire readers to adopt a growth mindset in their own lives.
