The story
In 1931, two sisters – 14-year-old Molly and 8-year-old Daisy – and their 10-year-old cousin Gracie are living in the Western Australian town of Jigalong.
The children are referred to by Neville as "half-castes", because they each have Aboriginal mothers and white fathers.
It was assumed that they would marry whites, and so on through the generations, so that eventually the Aboriginal "blood" would diminish in society.
