Serengotti by Eugen Bacon (Signed by the Author)

In the one tumultuous day, Ch'anzu loses hir job and finds wife Scarlet in bed with a stranger. As life unexpectedly spirals out of control, Ch'anzu turns to hir charismatic Aunt Mae for comfort and wisdom, and makes the bold move to work on a project in Serengotti, a migrant African outpost in rural Australia.

In a novel haunted by the strangeness and yearnings of a displaced community -- both beautiful and fractured -- Ch'anzu is forced to confront hir many demons. Back in the city, brother Tex has gone missing. In Serengotti violence and infidelity simmer.

This is a novel bathed in sensuous, original language, a love letter to the strong women who bind families together despite everything. It's also a tender remembrance of the many who haven't or couldn't survive the dislocations and tragedies of their turbulent pasts.
