A beautiful, beautiful book. Run, don't walk, to your nearest bookseller or library and grab it. Generous, heart-breaking, sad, joyous and life-affirming. Thank you Archie Roach.

A story told in such a captivating way, that only teaching for the tissue box could break its spell. Thank you Uncle Archie, for sharing your life, your work & your spirit with readers.

A beautiful memoir. The audiobook is fantastic as Roach narrates and also plays a song at the beginning of some chapters. He definitely knows how to tell a story. I can’t remember being quite so moved by a story.

While reading the book is great, I strongly recommend listening to the audiobook. You sit at a kitchen table with Archie as he narrates his story, the sound of birds chirping in the distance. He also plays songs and guitar riffs. It's immersive and even more powerful. Thank you Uncle Archie for sharing your stories.
