Xavier Herbert's sweeping Australian epic spans generations across the Northern Territory, exploring identity, belonging, and the brutal realities of colonial Australia. Published in 1938, Capricornia follows Norman Shillingsworth—a mixed-race man navigating a world divided by colour and class. Herbert's prose is vivid, unflinching, and deeply Australian, painting a portrait of a nation grappling with its own conscience. Perfect for readers who love ambitious literary classics that challenge and provoke.
