All Our Shimmering Skies

$26.00

By Trent Dalton

Darwin, 1942, and as Japanese bombs rain down, motherless Molly Hook, the gravedigger’s daughter, turns once again to the sky for guidance. She carries a stone heart inside a duffel bag next to the map that leads to Longcoat Bob, the deep-country sorcerer who put a curse on her family. By her side are the most unlikely travelling companions: Greta, a razor-tongued actress, and Yukio, a fallen Japanese fighter pilot.

Description

The author of Boy Swallows Universe, Trent Dalton returns with All Our Shimmering Skies. The bestselling, critically acclaimed novel, destined to become another Australian classic.

Run, Molly, run, says the daytime sky. Run to the vine forests; Run to northern Australia’s wild and magical monsoon lands; Run to friendship; Run to love. Run. Because the graverobber’s coming, Molly, and the night-time sky is coming with him. So run, Molly, run. All Our Shimmering Skies is a story about gifts that fall from the sky, curses we dig from the earth and the secrets we bury inside ourselves. It is an odyssey of true love and grave danger. Of darkness and light, of bones and blue skies. A buoyant, beautiful and magical novel abrim with warmth, wit and wonder; and a love letter to Australia and the art of looking up.
