An ember storm of a novel, this is Booker Prize-winning novelist
Richard Flanagan at his most moving-and astonishing-best. In a
world of perennial fire and growing extinctions, Anna's aged mother
is dying-if her three children would just allow it. Condemned by
their pity to living she increasingly escapes through her hospital
window into visions of horror and delight. When Anna's finger
vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels
the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her
others are similarly vanishing, but no one else notices. All Anna
can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening
wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely
beautiful novel about hope and love and orange-bellied parrots.
