Rabbit Proof Fence Audio Book Is A Compelling Rendition Of Australian Life
Some six years following her excellent award winning book named "Caprice - A Stockman's Daughter", Doris Pilkington came up with an excellent follow up book called "Follow the Rabbit-proof Fence" which was somewhat of a biographical book which narrates the coming home of her mother from Moore River Native Settlement while making use of many hundred kilometers of rabbit-proof fence for guidance.
Don't Try To Race Through The Book
Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is certainly recommended for anyone interested in learning about Australian life, and most people that have taken the trouble to buy the Rabbit Proof Fence audio book have found it to be engrossing and well worth the time and effort spent in reading the book. It is also a book that you should not try and race through as that would be an insult to the author since the story is an engrossing take on three girls in their youth who try to escape being enslaved despite great forces arrayed to counter them.
You can't help but feel sympathetic to the trials and tribulations that these young girls went through including being able to evade pursuers that included Aborigine trackers that themselves were experts and being able to successfully cross half of a continent in order to be reunited with their families is a story worth becoming acquainted with. This Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is a great testimony to how one of the longest walks in the history of Australia took place and how those early European settlers worked against indigenous people of Australia.
Reading the Rabbit Proof Fence audio book shows the raping, murder as well as abandonment of women, while men too were killed and imprisoned as well as being enslaved while being more or less helpless when their lands were left to the mercy of cattle, sheep as well as grains. You can well empathize with the failure of Aboriginal spears when confronted by the power of gunpowder which helped enforce the ‘superiority' of the invaders.
The Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is filled with many adventures and a fair share of ironies as well and it is also not quite so strange to learn of how some white settlers' wives actually helped these young women to escape. The Rabbit Proof Fence audio book is the tale of Aborigines told in the manner of Aborigines and certainly makes for compelling story telling that can be bought from www.shopireland.ie for fewer than ten Euros after discount and is certainly well worth a buy.
