Our Shadows tells the story of three generations of family living in Kalgoorlie, where gold was discovered in 1893 by an Irish-born prospector named Paddy Hannan, whose own history weaves in and out of this beguiling novel.

Sisters Nell and Frances were raised by their grandparents and were once closely bound by reading and fantasy. Now they live in Sydney and are estranged. Each in her own way struggles with the loss of their parents.

Little by little the sisters grow to understand the imaginative force of the past and the legacy of their shared orphanhood. Then Frances decides to make a journey home to the goldfields to explore what lies hidden and unspoken in their lives, in the shadowy tunnels of the past.

Reviews for Our Shadows

'An intellectually strenuous entertainment concerned with the nature and loss of senses, of filial obligations and their cost, of the vertiginous role of chance...another rich and accomplished work. ' * Sydney Morning Herald on The Death of Noah Glass * 'Weaving together multiple narratives...the novel sketches a family portrait full of love, loss, and regret.' * Kirkus on The Death of Noah Glass * 'An oblique and poetic novel...a vivid, unsettling study of mortality.' * Sunday Times on The Death of Noah Glass *
