Publisher's Synopsis
An Open Swimmer, which won the Australian/Vogel Award for best first novel, announced the debut of a major new storyteller. It is a haunting and powerful meditation on the horrors and joys of adulthood, and the conflict between ideals and reality. That Eye, The Sky concerns a boy's vision of the world and the often blurred distinction between the natural and the supernatural. In the Winter Dark is a spine-tingling thriller, told with great power, beginning when a small dog is torn screaming from its leash by something unseen.
