- Allison_Booth abstract "Alison Booth is the author of The Jingera Trilogy. which comprises the three novels Stillwater Creek, The Indigo Sky and A Distant Land - written by Alison Booth, an Australian author and academic. All three novels are set in the fictional coastal town of Jingera, hence the trilogy's title.The novels, published by Random House Australia, span the years from 1957 to 1971.The first book in the trilogy is Stillwater Creek (2010), which “captures a particular time in Australian history – memories of the war are still relatively fresh, communism is the new fear, and social mores are still very conservative”.In an interview Booth is quoted as saying about the town of Jingera, “I like to think of [it] as... a stage on which a few actors play out the universal stories. Translated into French (Les Rivages du Souvenir) by Helene Collon for publication by Presses de la Cite in 2011, this novel was also Highly Commended in the 2011 ACT Book of the Year Award, and has been published as a Select Edition in 2011 by Reader's Digest in Australasia and in the UK.”.The second novel, The Indigo Sky (2011), is set in late 1961. Booth \"uses Jingera as a microcosm for the social and political issues faced by post-war Australia. [She]... weaves the gritty issues of paedophilia, racism and postwar trauma into her first book, and the removal of Aboriginal children and bullying into her second book, but manages to maintain a light and hopeful tone”.”.The final book in the trilogy is A Distant Land (2012), set in Jingera, Sydney and Cambodia in 1971. “Human rights, civil liberties and war are a particular focus in this most recent book”.“A Distant Land expands the characters' horizons nationally and internationally, exploring the darkest themes, in the greatest depth. Through that darkness, as is the case in all of Booth's novels, there is hope that the good in us all will prevail”.".
