Jack Charles: Born-again Blakfella written by Jack Charles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Uncle Charles as a born-again Blakfella, has inspired many generations . A victim of the Stolen Generations, and thrown into an abusive system, it’s a wonder he kept reverberating back to the heights of stage and screen, and become a respected, upstanding member of society. Well, when he wasn’t pursuing his other passion for being a cat burglar, nor fighting severe drug addictions. His memoir covers so much ground in a series of enthralling stories, it was a lovely read, reflective of a lovely Victorian elder.
