"A strange and joyous marvel" Richard Flanagan Robbie Arnott's mad,
wild debut novel is rough-hewn from the Tasmanian landscape and
imbued with the folkloric magic of the oldest fireside
storytellers. A young man named Levi McAllister decides to build a
coffin for his twenty-three-year-old sister, Charlotte-who promptly
runs for her life. A water rat swims upriver in quest of the cloud
god. A fisherman named Karl hunts for tuna in partnership with a
seal. And a father takes form from fire. The answers to these
riddles are to be found in this tale of grief and love and the
bonds of family, tracing a journey across the southern island that
takes us full circle. Flames sings out with joy and sadness.
Utterly original in conception, spellbinding in its descriptions of
nature and its celebration of the power of language, it announces
the arrival of a thrilling new voice in contemporary fiction.
