"…a book that has a simplicity that can break your heart and a complexity that can dazzle your mind and, for me, stands as Patricia Grace's towering achievement." Andy Barnes, Belletrista

A stunning foil-stamped hardback cover makes this edition of Patricia Grace's classic novel a must have for any serious collector's library.

A small coastal community is threatened by developers. It is a time of fear and confusion – and growing anger. The prophet child Toko can sense it. He shares his people's struggles against bulldozers and fast money talk: his all-seeing eye looks forward to a strange and terrible new dawn. Weaving myth and memory, Patricia Grace's prize-winning novel is a spellbinding portrait of a defiant community determined to protect their way of life at any cost.
