Wrong Face in the Mirror: An Autobiography of Race and Identity (UQP NONFICTION)

In 1988 "Wrong Face in the Mirror" won the Dirk Hartog Literary Award for literary exploration of migration experiences. With a vision of lid under palm trees, Lolo Houbein left the Holland of her war-troubled childhood to live in Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Australia. Her spiritual journeying has been guided by intuition as she searches for an ancestry so scattered and elusive that fact and imagination mingle in the telling.
