About this listen
Ruby Langford Ginibi’s remarkable talent for storytelling grabbed the attention of both black and white Australians when she released Don’t Take Your Love to Town, which has gone on to become a bestseller and is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoir.
Don’t Take Your Love to Town is a story of courage in the face of poverty and tragedy. Ruby recounts losing her mother when she was six, growing up in a mission in northern New South Wales and leaving home when she was 15. She lived in tin huts and tents in the bush and picked up work on the land while raising nine children virtually single-handedly. Later she struggled to make ends meet in the Koori areas of Sydney.

'If you pick up this book, you pick up a life. It is as simple and as difficult as that. The life Langford [Ginibi] has lived in Australia is as close to the eyes and ears as print on the page makes it.' (The Australian)
'Don’t Take Your Love to Town proved the catalyst for Langford Ginibi achieving recognition as one of Australia’s premier storytellers of urban and rural Indigenous life during the last half century.' (Tara June Winch, author of the award-winning novel Swallow the Air)
