AWW21 All Our Shimmering Skies - Trent Dalton

Trent Dalton’s dazzling debut, Boy Swallows Universe, became the
fastest selling Australian fiction debut ever, selling over half
a million copies in Australia alone. His highly anticipated
follow up, All Our Shimmering Skies, is set in Darwin in 1942 and
is a sweeping mythological odyssey of love and adventure, magical
and masterfully imaginative, populated by a Dickensian cast of
finely drawn colourful characters, led by gravedigger’s daughter
Molly Hook, a tenacious spirit as full of heart and hope as the
novel she inhabits.
