Tell Me Why: The Story of My Life and My Music
July 30,
One of my favourite books so far this year, and overall actually. Since I reached the end of this audiobook I have found myself missing listening to Archie tell his story (recorded at his kitchen table, occasionally with the sound of birds chattering in the background) and sing his songs. Archie's life is turned around when he receives a letter from his sister telling him that their mother has died, his father is also dead, but he has many siblings if they ever want to meet up (I am heavily paraphrasing here, and one of the few downsides to audiobooks is that you cannot just flip back to copy out a quote). His life starts spinning out from here, as he realises he was forcibly removed from his family as a toddler. He leaves his foster family and begins a long journey, full of positives -- meeting his siblings, meeting the woman, Ruby Hunter, who will become his wife, the early days of his music -- and negatives -- alcoholism, A powerful memoir of a true Australian stolen child, musical and lyrical genius, and leader.Not many have lived as many lives as Archie Roach – stolen child. Winner of the 2020 Indie Book of the Year Non-Fiction. In this intimate, moving and often shocking memoir, Archie’s story is an extraordinary odyssey through love and heartbreak, family and community, survival and renewal - and the healing power of music. My March book club read was Archie Roach’s Tell Me Why. It was a moving, searingly honest account of his life.
