Description
Ellen van Neerven's award-winning collection of stories was inspired by the elements and is exceptionally imaginative and varied.
In this award-winning work of fiction, Ellen van Neerven leads readers on a journey that is mythical, mystical, and still achingly real.
Over three parts, van Neerven takes traditional storytelling and gives it a unique, contemporary twist. In Heat, we meet several generations of the Kresinger family and the legacy left by the mysterious Pearl. In Water, a futuristic world is imagined and the fate of a people threatened. In Light, familial ties are challenged and characters are caught between a desire for freedom and a sense of belonging.
Heat and Light is an intriguing collection that heralded the arrival of a major new talent in Australian writing.
