À propos de ce contenu audio

 Winner of the 2021 ABIA Audiobook of the Year

A powerful memoir of a true Australian legend: stolen child, musical and lyrical genius, and leader.

Not many have lived as many lives as Archie Roach – stolen child, seeker, teenage alcoholic, lover, father, musical and lyrical genius, and leader – but it took him almost a lifetime to find out who he really was.

Roach was only two years old when he was forcibly removed from his family. Brought up by a series of foster parents until his early teens, his world imploded when he received a letter that spoke of a life he had no memory of.

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. Overcoming enormous odds to find his story and his people, Archie voices the joy, pain and hope he found on his path through song to become the legendary singer-songwriter and storyteller that he is today – beloved by fans worldwide.

Tell Me Why is a stunning account of resilience and the strength of spirit – and of a great love story.

    From the first page I was gripped by this talented storyteller who shares his life and inner motivation in a way that speaks to our common humanity even as it indicts the cruel British colonial legacy in Australia and Canada -- a decades long policy of separating indigenous children from their parents. Archie testifies to the healing power of 12 step programs and of Aboriginal spirituality and community. A beautiful memoir by an iconic Australian singer songwriter, enriched with many songs and licks of the guitar.

    touching and important memoir
