'Arnott has an eye and an ear for description that can elevate
otherwise quiet moments to something genuinely transcendent... A
luminously told, whole-life story of a young boy discovering how to
be his own man.' Guardian Ned West dreams of sailing across the
river on a boat of his very own. To Ned, a boat means freedom - the
fresh open water, squid-rich reefs, fires on private beaches - a
far cry from life on Limberlost, the family farm, where his father
worries and grieves for Ned's older brothers. They're away fighting
in a ruthless and distant war, becoming men on the battlefield,
while Ned - too young to enlist - roams the land in search of
rabbits to shoot, selling their pelts to fund his secret boat
ambitions. But as the seasons pass and Ned grows up, real life gets
in the way. Ned falls for Callie, the tough, capable sister of his
best friend, and together they learn the lessons of love, loss, and
hardship. When a storm decimates the Limberlost crop and shakes the
orchard's future, Ned must decide what to protect: his childhood
dreams, or the people and the land that surround him... At turns
tender and vicious, Limberlost is a tale of the masculinities we
inherit, the limits of ownership and understanding, and the
teeming, vibrant wonders of growing up. Told in spellbinding,
folkloric spirit, this is an unforgettable love letter to the
richness of the natural world from a writer of rare talent.
