Harry Hartog's review

When critics say Arnott is among the top of Australian literature, I believe it. This is a subtle, tender multi-layered story that explores boy-to-manhood, family love, and the relationship between human and nature - reading and finishing this filled my cup all the way up. The beauty and savagery of nature, especially, is visceral. Tied to the Tasmanian landscape, expect a lovely escape of a read too. - Tiffany, Bookseller

Publisher's description

In the heat of a long summer Ned hunts rabbits in a river valley, hoping the pelts will earn him enough money to buy a small boat.

His two brothers are away at war, their whereabouts unknown. His father and older sister struggle to hold things together on the family orchard, Limberlost.

Desperate to ignore it all-to avoid the future rushing towards him-Ned dreams of open water.

As his story unfolds over the following decades, we see how Ned's choices that summer come to shape the course of his life, the fate of his family and the future of the valley, with its seasons of death and rebirth.

The third novel by the award-winning author of Flames and The Rain Heron, Limberlost is an extraordinary chronicle of life and land: of carnage and kindness, blood ties and love.
