About this listen

In 1982, Sally Morgan travelled back to her grandmother's birthplace. What started as a tentative search for information about her family, turned into an overwhelming emotional and spiritual pilgrimage. My Place is a moving account of a search for truth into which a whole family is gradually drawn, finally freeing the tongues of the author's mother and grandmother, allowing them to tell their own stories.

I was first inroduced to this book 20 years ago as an undergrad student teacher. I loved it then so was delighted to revisit the story in audiobook format. It remains a warm and honest insight into a family striving to find its historical roots whilst simultaneously striving to hide from it. The narrator read well but I found her pronunctiation of some words to be odd and this distracted me from time to time but a great true story and important part of Australia's history.

A much loved story

Having read the book a good few years ago, I looked forward to listening to it being read to me - I wasn’t disappointed. Still a great story of a family’s journey through life treated as ‘outsiders’. Melanie read with passion and empathy bringing the story alive.
Makes me want to read the book again. Thank you.

A great story
