1942 – Japanese bombs rain down in Darwin, Australia.

Motherless Molly Hook, the gravedigger’s daughter, turns to the road, seeking 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.

As they journey from the vine forests to Australia’s wild and magical monsoon lands, they will encounter grave danger and discover true love…

Immerse yourself in a love letter to Australia from its best-loved writer.

This is a very well written story which is harrowing at times. What kept me listening was the amazing performance of Ruby Rees especially her portrayal of Molly the young protagonist.

Wonderful narration

I thoroughly loved this second novel from Trent Dalton. To be taken on such an epic journey with characters that were so beautifully and poetically described was pure delight. I cried tears of happiness with them.

Brilliant and powerful

I can’t work out if the author is a genius or the narrator but I was lost in a world of gold mines and blue skies and loved every bit. PLEASE write more Trent

Arrrgggh so BORING. And the narrator is so IRRITATING. I tried, because Boy Swallows Universe on Audible is amazing. But, my god, I nearly smashed my phone with this one. I gave up about 3 hours from the end, when I was clear it was never going to improve. What a waste of my time. And did I mention how bloody irritating the narrator is ? !! I hated it.

I stuck it as long as I could...
