The Yield

'A love letter to land and language, rendering history and grief, love and home with an exquisite sensibility. At the intersection of mind and land it offers a vision of profound meaning and significance' Jay Griffiths, author of Wild: An Elemental Journey

'A beautifully written novel that puts language at the heart of remembering the past and understanding the present' Kate Morton

'A testament to the saving grace of language itself, and to the corrosive consequences when it falls out of use and disappears' Wall Street Journal

'Unmissable' Guardian

'A deep and affecting novel, one of the summer's literary must-reads' Bustle

'The Peoples, languages and wildlife of Australia have been purposely decimated for a great many years. The history of this vast land is a tragic one and this young Indigenous author has taken it on in a graceful act of retrieval and witness. The dictionary and use of Wiradjuri words is transporting. Birrabuwawanha-to return, to come back. The Yield is a fine novel, and one not without hope' Joy Williams, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist The Quick and the Dead

'Mesmerising and important' Melissa Lucashenko, 2019 Miles Franklin award-winning author of Too Much Lip

'Winch offers a stark account of how Aboriginal peoples are ignored, abused and their cultural beliefs stomped on, [but] The Yield's final message is one of hope' Buzzfeed
