"A beautiful tale of a girl and a dingo trying to reach a better life in a ruined world. The characters and setting are vivid, even curled up on my couch I could feel the desert heat and reached for my water bottle. The connection between the dingo and the sister is beautiful and heartfelt. A very worthwhile read from an excellent author."
