Produktinformationen zu „Native Companions (ePub)“
Native Companions is about the history of the early Australian Aborigines, which is given life through a fictional narrative. It takes bits and pieces of authoritative historical records and blends them into an extraordinary tale of aboriginal life as it might have been. Replete with magical elements and fantastic imagery, the story is couched in a unique setting as ancient tribal history is narrated by an elderly tree Gran Yaraan in a grove of native hardwood gum trees where the young saplings pepper her with questions about their ancestors. The description of the opening setting is breathtaking in its beauty while the tribal life described presents a community of general harmony and order. The rules and customs of the tribe are portrayed with keen detail including their firm adherence to a higher power who continually hovers over and influences every aspect of tribal life. It is obvious that the author has done impressive research and has incredibly managed to bring these ancient people to life with realistic authenticity.
The organization of the story is presented in six parts with each part and chapter containing a glossary of names and explanatory material to help the reader keep logically connected with various events as they transpire. The entire novel is full of the twists and turns of daily and yearly struggles with the vagaries of weather and natural elements of fire and water as they impact the necessities of human survival. Psychological elements are depicted as keeping pace with the growth in mastery over natural elements and in learning to handle battles with negative adversaries. In general, the major strengths in this novel are the extraordinary descriptions, which are found throughout. A remarkable achievement, this novel can take a well-respected place in the genre of historical fiction. Reviewed by Dr. Marian, firstediting.com, 4/21/2017.

Autoren-Porträt von Jennifer Barnett
Jennifer Barnett was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia. She is a 6th generation descendent of the original Barnett pioneering family that sailed from Portsmouth on the "Eden" and arrived in Adelaide in June 1838 when they first settled at Nailsworth in SA. The family branched out with many siblings taking up land along the Murray Riverland district. Jennifer married a farmer from the West Coast of SA where they raised four children before moving to Queensland, where she returned to her nursing career before taking on studies in traditional medicine. As a registered naturopathic practitioner, Jennifer became vitally interested in traditional herbal medicine, as well as the survival skills and cultures practised by indigenous races prior to modernisation. The author is particularly fascinated by the ability of Australian indigenous bush-men to access a higher sense, or instinct.
Together with her many other interests that include spending time with grandchildren, gardening and travel, Jennifer enjoys creative writing and art. The author lives with her husband Ron in a country town on the Sunshine Coast, where they spend countless hours establishing a bird friendly environment by cultivating native plants and an eco friendly environment.
