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. In September 1883, the South Australian town of Fairly huddles under strange, vivid sunsets. Six-year-old Denny Wallace has gone missing during a dust storm, and the whole town is intent on finding him. As they search the desert and mountains for the lost child, the residents of Fairly - newlyweds, landowners, farmers, mothers, artists, Indigenous trackers, cameleers, children, schoolteachers, widows, maids, policemen - explore their own relationships with the complex landscape unsettling history of the Flinders Ranges. The colonial Australia of The Sun Walks Down is unfamiliar, multicultural, and noisy with opinions, arguments, longings and terrors. It's haunted by many gods - the sun among them, rising and falling on each day that Denny could be found, or lost forever.Praise for Fiona McFarlane'Quite simply, the best novel I've ever read about 19th-century Australia.'Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Horse 'The Sun Walks Down is the book I'm always longing to find: brilliant, fresh and compulsively readable. It is marvellous. I loved it from start to finish.' Ann Patchett, author of These Precious Days'Gorgeous storytelling and superb characters are among the glories of The Sun Walks Down. Fiona McFarlane is an extraordinary writer, one of the best working today. Her magnificent reworking of the lost child story showcases the profound understanding she brings to people, places and the past. I lived in this wise, majestic novel for days and never wanted it to end.' Michelle de Kretser, dual Miles Franklin-winning author of Scary Monsters'Accomplished, assured, elegant and insightful - this beautifully told novel took me on the most unexpected and compelling of journeys. I adored it.' Sofie Laguna, Miles Franklin-winning author of Infinite Splendours'The Sun Walks Down is an extraordinary work of fiction that I have no doubt will become a classic of Australian literature. McFarlane's writing is assured, masterful, nothing short of brilliant.' Emily Bitto, Stella Prize-winning author of The Strays and Wild Abandon'Symphonic in composition, The Sun Walks Down assembles an entire world around the disappearance of a young boy into the South Australian dust. Patiently, subtly, and with great-hearted humanity, Fiona McFarlane gives full life to every character in this world, remaking colonial myths with a 21st-century novelist's tools. As the parts come together towards a moving climax, you find yourself immersed in something vast, satisfying on every level, a triumph of literary construction. With The Night Guest, McFarlane emerged as a major Australian literary novelist; The Sun Walks Down confirms it.' Malcolm Knox, author of Bluebird'MacFarlane's great gifts as a storyteller are on full display in this luminous and assured novel. Its extraordinary characters are at once revealed and shadowed by loss and by history, and by their fears for a child missing in a parched place few can read or know. All are infused - adults, children and the landscape they walk and search - with a complexity and dignity that is her hallmark. I closed the book and wanted immediately to read it again.' Kristina Olsson, author of Boy, Lost'The Sun Walks Down by Fiona MacFarlane is, quite simply, the best novel I've ever read about 19th-century Australia. A tense search for a lost child unfolds with rising dread against a landscape of harsh and radiant beauty, amid lives as tangled as barbed wire.' Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Horse'An extraordinary book.

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.'
