Half Caste is a 1933 Australian novel by Eric Baume. It was Baume's best known novel.[1]
The novel was one of the most popular Australian books of the year.[2]
The Bulletin said Baume "tells vividly and clearly, often poignantly, the problems that beset the half-caste Maori girl who is highly educated but is without money or social background."[3]
The Australian Woman's Mirror called it "a frankly realistic and in parts savagely critical piece of writing."[4]
