Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Winner of the International Dylan Thomas Prize 2017 'The judges recognised the mastery of form which is present in Fiona McFarlane's unforgettable collection of stunning short stories . . . highly varied in tone and brought the reader to characters, situations and places which were haunting in their oddity and moving in their human empathy.' Chair of judges of International Dylan Thomas Prize 2017, Professor Dai Smith CBE By the author of The Night Guest, a collection of fourteen scintillating short stories: surprising, wise, thought-provoking and superbly wrought. Ranging in setting from Australia to Greece, England to a Pacific island, they focus on people: their hopes, fears, dreams and disappointments, and their relationships - between ill-matched friends, daughters and mothers, fathers and sons, married couples and sisters. Some are eccentric, like the widower who believes his dead wife's mechanical parrot speaks to him, or the research scientist convinced that Charles Darwin visits him on his remote island; others delude themselves, like the mistress of a married man who thinks she's freer than her married sister. All are confronted with events that make them see themselves and their lives from a fresh perspective. It is what they do as a result that is as unpredictable as life itself. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Condition: new. Short-Listed for the 2023 Walter Scott Prize for Historical FictionNamed a Top 10 Best Book of 2023 by The Wall Street JournalNamed a Best Book of 2023 by Kirkus and Chicago Public LibraryThe Sun Walks Down is the book Im always longing to find: brilliant, fresh, and compulsively readable. It is marvelous. I loved it start to finish. -Ann Patchett, author of The Dutch HouseFiona McFarlanes blazingly brilliant new novel, The Sun Walks Down, tells the many-voiced, many-sided story of a boy lost in colonial Australia.In September 1883, a small town in the South Australian outback huddles under strange, vivid sunsets. Six-year-old Denny Wallace has gone missing during a dust storm, and the entire community is caught up in the search for him. As they scour the desert and mountains for the lost child, the residents of Fairly-newlyweds, farmers, mothers, Indigenous trackers, cameleers, children, artists, schoolteachers, widows, maids, policemen-confront their relationships, both with one another and with the landscape they inhabit.The colonial Australia of The Sun Walks Down is noisy with opinions, arguments, longings, and terrors. Its haunted by many gods-the sun among them, rising and falling on each day in which Denny could be found, or lost forever.Told in many ways and by many voices, Fiona McFarlanes new novel pulses with love, art, and the unbearable divine. It arrives like a vision, mythic and bright with meaning.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The debut of a major Australian writer, The Night Guest is a mesmerising novel about trust, love, dependence, and the fear that the things you think you know may become the things you're least sure about.One morning Ruth wakes thinking a tiger has been in her seaside house. Later that day a formidable woman called Frida arrives, looking as if she's blown in from the sea. In fact she's come to care for Ruth. Frida and the tiger- both are here to stay, and neither is what they seem. Which of them can Ruth trust? And as memories of her childhood in Fiji press upon her with increasing urgency, can she even trust herself?'The Night Guest is such an accomplished and polished debut. A delicacy and poignancy to the writing is combined with almost unbearable suspense.' Kate Atkinson, author of Life After Life'I will be haunted by its beauty and its truths for along time to come . . . A rapturous, fearsome fable of grief and love.' Susanna Moore, author of In the Cut'Clear-sighted and compelling . . . and you love Ruth as you travel with her to the book's end.' Ashley Hay, Weekend Australian'An extraordinary novel. At once a tender thriller and an exquisitely constructed meditation on time and memory, it is propelled by sentence after sentence of masterful prose. With The Night Guest, Fiona McFarlane announces herself as a writer to be read, admired, and read again.' Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds'The best Australian first novel I've read in years. I so much admire the intelligence that animates it, and her calm sentences that contain surprises.' Michelle de Kretser, winner of the 2013 Miles Franklin Award for Questions of Travel'An utterly charming book. Ruth is mischievous, adventurous, and unconventional . . . McFarlane's style is fresh and full of surprising delights.' Australian Book Review'Astonishingly brilliant . . . Such a very rare voice.' Evie Wyld, a Granta Best Young Writer'Sometimes a debut novel burns brighter than the rest, and offers up the promise of literary greatness. The Night Guest is one of these books.' LA Review of Books'An enthralling psychological thriller in which every gesture and detail is loaded with meaning. This stellar debut will haunt you.' Entertainment Weekly'Mesmerising and suspenseful . . . a masterful, magical novel crafted around a very modern dilemma . . . McFarlane's talent shines.' Newtown Review of Books'A debut of uncommon assurance . . . It seems to rise above the shiny trivia of the last decade's novels . . . and do what serious fiction can- leave you more interested in the world, more conscious of its enigmas of love and memory, than you were before you read it.' Chicago Tribune'Precise and elegant . . . with extraordinary maturity for such a young writer.'

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ranging around the world from a remote Pacific island to outback Australia to the tourist haunts of Greece, these stories are written with extraordinary invention, great emotional insight and wry humour. Each one of them is as rich and rewarding as literature can be.The Night Guest introduced an Australian writer 'with the promise of literary greatness' (Los Angeles Times). The High Places delivers on that promise.The dazzling stories in this collection find those moments when people confront the strangeness and mystery of their lives. The revelations of intimidating old friends on holiday. An accident on a dark country road. A marine biologist in conversation with the ghost of Charles Darwin. The sudden arrival of American parachutists in a Queensland country town. A lottery win. A farmer troubled by miracles in the middle of a drought . . . The people in The High Places are jolted into seeing themselves from a fresh and often disconcerting perspective.Ranging around the world from a remote Pacific island to outback Australia to the tourist haunts of Greece, these stories are written with extraordinary invention, great emotional insight and wry humour. Each one of them is as rich and rewarding as literature can be.'This felt like a writer who was pitch perfect and just hit it on the nail with this book. We were all really impressed by, bluntly, a genius.' Dai Smith, Chair of Judges, Dylan Thomas Prize'The High Places is superb . . . It's not just that McFarlane's descriptions are beautiful prose, though they are. The High Places is more deliberate than that, and more intelligent. McFarlane strikes an emotional note on every page, whether it be humour or nostalgia or discomfort or joy . . . Each story feels fresh and original . . . Nothing is forced and the reason I can't pick my favourite is that every one of the 13 stories is a winner.' The Saturday Paper'Laden with wry wit and a deceptive simplicity . . . Moves boldly between place, perspective and voice, describing situations that manage to be both hysterically funny and quietly devastating at the same time . . . These singular images speak to the larger universal experience that is recognisable, discomfiting and always surprising.' Books & Publishing'This fine-tuned collection . . . is an impressive follow-up to the Sydney author's 2013 novel, The Night Guest. McFarlane glides through time and place with expert ease . . . The highlight? McFarlane's knack for rendering everyday life as remarkable.' Who Weekly'It is one thing to abandon a story because it's poorly written, quite another to stop because it's too good. And yet that is what I did with 'Unnecessary Gifts' from Fiona McFarlane's debut collection of short fiction . . . The variousness of geographical setting in McFarlane's stories suggests the roving modernist cosmopolitanism of Christina Stead or Michelle de Kretser . . . She seems equally at home in past and present, city and country; writing in the mode of dun-coloured realism or the ecstatic epiphanic . . . McFarlane reminds us the world revivified by the artist's imagination, made strange and new, may be the only one in which we truly see.' Geordie Williamson, Weekend Australian'While the stories in The High Places are imaginative, playful, and intellectually sophisticated, it is no overstatement to suggest that their power resides in the authority of McFarlane's style, not just in her ideas. McFarlane's sentences fizz with imagery and exhibit a highly poetic sense of cadence and rhythm . . . Highly assured, comic but kind, an effervescent admixture of fable, magic realism, and irony. Impressively, the stories resist closure, opening out into more questions than answers; they are constitutionally agnostic, despite their keen interest in belief . . . Remarkable.'
