'Alexis Wright's stunning first novel, Plains of Promise , haunts the mind and heart and spirit just as the crows do in this multi-generational story of abuse and neglect and hatred. "M// were implicated' " said Pilot, the Chinaman (141): Aboriginal and white, government, white missionaries, Aboriginal community, Elders, and Aboriginal political organizations. No one escapes Wright's scalpel; she opens the wounds of the past and fires them with her imagination. What makes this complex novel stand out is its unobtrusive weaving of national history into fictional biographies.'  (Introduction)
