All Our Shimmering Skies: A Northern Territory Odyssey

Darwin, 1942: As Japanese bombs fall, motherless Molly Hook, the gravedigger’s daughter, seeks solace in the sky. In her duffel bag, she carries a stone heart and a map to Longcoat Bob, the sorcerer who cursed her family.

Alongside her are unlikely companions: Greta, a sharp-tongued actress, and Yukio, a downed Japanese pilot.

The daytime sky urges Molly to flee to the vine forests, to the monsoon lands of northern Australia, to friendship and love. For the graverobber is coming, and the night sky with him.

This is a tale of sky-borne gifts, earthbound curses, and buried secrets. A perilous journey of love, darkness, and light, brimming with warmth, wit, and wonder. A love letter to Australia and the art of looking up.
