What is Flames about?

Robbie Arnott's mad, wild debut novel is rough-hewn from the Tasmanian landscape and imbued with the folkloric magic of the oldest fireside storytellers. For readers of Jennifer Egan, Evie Wyld, Sara Baume and David Szalay. "Ambitious storytelling from a stunning new Australian voice. Flames is constantly surprising - I never knew where the story would take me next. This book has a lovely sense of wonder for the world. It’s brimming with heart and compassion." - Rohan WilsonA young man named Levi McAllister decides to build a coffin for his twenty-three-year-old sister, Charlotte-who promptly runs for her life. A water rat swims upriver in quest of the cloud god. A fisherman named Karl hunts for tuna in partnership with a seal. And a father takes form from fire. The answers to these riddles are to be found in this tale of grief and love and the bonds of family, tracing a journey across the southern island that takes us full circle. "This is a startlingly good first novel, stylistically adventurous, gorgeous in its descriptions and with a compelling narrative that should find a wide readership." - The AustralianFlames sings out with joy and sadness. Utterly original in conception
