This warm, character‑driven novel explores family, human connection, and the surprising ways that nature teaches us who we are. It pays tribute to the changing beauty of the Western Australian landscape, its flora and fauna, the diverse characters who live in and visit the area, and the language, culture and history of the Noongar people who are the traditional custodians of this country.
