Description
First published in 1960, this novel centers on three sensitive, emotional individuals in a narrow-minded country town. Two schoolteachers are drawn to each other by their shared qualities of honesty, tolerance, and desire to understand. They also share a concern for Vinny Lalor, a young girl isolated from her peers. But rumor and malice mount against the three, sweeping them into isolation and, ultimately, disaster.

Nearly twenty years ago, Ruby Langford Ginibi’s remarkable talent for storytelling grabbed the attention of both white and black Australians when she released Don’t Take Your Love to Town, which has gone on to become a bestseller and is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoir.
Don’t Take Your Love to Town is a story of courage in the face of poverty and tragedy. Ruby recounts losing her mother when she was six, growing up in a mission in northern New South Wales and leaving home when she was fifteen. She lived in tin huts and tents in the bush and picked up work on the land while raising nine children virtually single-handedly. Later she struggled to make ends meet in the Koori areas of Sydney. Ruby is an amazing woman whose sense of humor has endured through all the hardships she has experienced.
Don’t Take Your Love to Town is a brilliant memoir that will open your eyes and heart to an extraordinary woman’s story.
