Forever & Ever
A gritty, fresh Australian story with a Romeo and Juliet themed love story at its centre, from the inaugural Indigenous Writers Mentorship recipient.
'An evocative and gutsy new voice.' Tara June Winch
Talia is sixteen, pregnant and angry. Her family is broken. She's looking after her unwell mother. Her dad's gone. At school she is shunned. And Johnny-the one person she thought she could count on-just walked away.
Johnny is Barkindji, smart and confused. He's struggling with the weight of his parents' expectations- he wants to please them, but is the future they've planned for him the one he really wants? He makes a decision he knows he'll regret- leaving Talia behind.
But some love-no matter how impossible-never lets go.
Forever & Ever is a gritty, heart-wrenching love story set in a Murray-Darling river town simmering with deep-seated prejudice and long-buried secrets.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
