Her wild cousin Sally has always hinted at unrevealed secrets, and this offers a chance to break the conspiracy of silence concerning the family's Indian past. The chain-of-voices mystery that Alice uncovers stretches from the time of the British Raj to the postcolonial era and contemporary Australia. But what exactly is being investigated?...The story of a family caught between two worlds, Midnight Voices is at once a deft reworking of many of the myths about Anglo-Indians and a moving denunciation of racial hypocrisy.'

    'Of Indian Origin is a dazzling collection of short stories and poetry by Australian writers of Indian origin. Cultures collide as children encounter racism in the playgrounds of Canberra, migrant women scrounge for a living nursing Melbourne's elderly, and a young author moves to a strange and unfamiliar country where she suffers from dreamlessness. These searing works bring new meaning to the field of ‘Asian-Australian writing’ and new perspectives on the Indian diasporic experience. Though the field of Indian-Australian writing is still small, this vibrant mix of emerging and established writers shows it is by no means a homogenous entity. Bold, experimental and wildly original, Of Indian Origin unapologetically tackles issues of home and provides a unique overview of how Indian-Australian literary writing has developed over half a century.'  (Publication summary)
