Description
On Tasmania’s southern island, grief takes strange and beautiful forms when Levi McAllister builds a coffin for his sister Charlotte—only for her to flee into the wilderness. As their family’s story unfolds through encounters with a water rat seeking a cloud god, a fisherman aided by a seal, and a father shaped from fire, the boundaries between myth, nature, and human experience begin to blur. Blending dreamlike invention with emotional realism, this lyrical novel explores love, loss, family bonds, and the ways people search for meaning in a vast and elemental world.
