A literary gem. In an era before cars, when graziers offer a bounty for a puma who is killing their sheep, twins Iris and Floyd, down-and-out children of alcoholic ex-convicts, ride their horses into the highlands to collect. The puma, Dusk, has already killed one bounty hunter, and a man from South America, has disappeared. No one quite captures the raw, mesmerising silence of the Tasmanian wilderness, the myths and the solitary individuals who inhabit it, like Arnott, author of The Rain Heron and Limberlost. Traces of Cormac McCarthy. — Ray

We have loved every one of Robbie Arnott’s books, from Flames to The Rain Heron to Limberlost. In Duskhe continues to blur genres, crafting beautifully nuanced and memorable stories with no sleight of hand, writing evocatively of place and delivering a super satisfying and thrilling finale.  — Sally
