Short-Listed for the 2023 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction The Sun Walks Down is the book I'm always longing to find: brilliant fresh and compulsively readable. It is marvelous. I loved it start to finish. -Ann Patchett author of The Dutch House Fiona McFarlane's blazingly brilliant new novel The Sun Walks Down tells the many-voiced many-sided story of a boy lost in colonial Australia. In September 1883 a small town in the South Australian outback huddles under strange vivid sunsets. 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 land­scape they inhabit. The colonial Australia of The Sun Walks Down 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. Told 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.
