An epic tale of unsettlement, history, myth, art, and love - and of a small boy lost in the Australian desert from the prize-winning author of The Night Guest and The High Places.
In September 1883, in a small town in the South Australian outback, six-year-old Denny Wallace goes missing. As a dust storm sweeps across the landscape, the entire community is caught up in the search. Scouring the desert and mountains, the residents of Fairly - newlyweds, farmers, mothers, artists, Indigenous trackers, cameleers, policemen - confront their relationships with each other and with the ancient land they inhabit. A land haunted by many gods - the sun among them, rising and falling on each day in which Denny could be found, or lost forever.
