Moyarra is a historical novel written by George William Rusden and published in 1851. The book is set in Australia during the early days of European settlement and tells the story of a young Aboriginal girl named Moyarra. Moyarra is taken from her family and raised by a white family who adopt her as their own. As she grows up, she becomes torn between her two identities and struggles to find her place in a society that is divided by race and culture. The novel explores themes of identity, cultural conflict, and the impact of European colonization on Indigenous communities. It also offers a unique insight into the lives of Aboriginal people during this period in Australian history. Rusden’s writing is vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of the Australian landscape and the people who inhabit it. Moyarra is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that challenges readers to consider the complex issues surrounding race and identity in Australia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
