Six-year-old Denny Wallace has gone missing during a dust storm, and the entire community is caught up in the search for him. As they scour the desert and mountains for the lost child, the residents of Fairly--newlyweds, farmers, mothers, Indigenous trackers, cameleers, children, artists, schoolteachers, widows, maids, policemen--confront their relationships, both with one another and with the land-scape they inhabit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe colonial Australia of \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Walks Down\u003c\/i\u003e is noisy with opinions, arguments, longings, and terrors. It's haunted by many gods--the sun among them, rising and falling on each day in which Denny could be found, or lost forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in many ways and by many voices, Fiona McFarlane's new novel pulses with love, art, and the unbearable divine. It arrives like a vision, mythic and bright with meaning.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFiona McFarlane\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Night Guest \u003c\/i\u003e(2013) and \u003ci\u003eThe High Places \u003c\/i\u003e(2016), which won the International Dylan Thomas Prize.
