Too Much Lip by Melissa Lucashenko

When Kerry Salter learns that her grandfather is dying, she travels on her Harley back to Bundjalung country. She plans to stay a short time, but when her family learns that there is a plan to build a prison on ancestral land, they know they have to band together to stop the development. Kerry's aims are to tolerate older brother, Ken, help her nephew Donny, and stay out of prison. However, the Salter's are a dysfunctional mob who fight and play hard. Will they be able to save Ava's Island? Too Much Lip won Australia's top literary prize, the Miles Franklin Literary Award in 2019, and is a vivid, realistic picture of contemporary Aboriginal Australian life.
