AbstractHistoryArchive Description
In a dying country town lives a young man fighting the future, a young man fighting the past, and a long-lost animal that can teach them both the art of survival. 'The animal swerved into the bracken, its smooth long tail slipping away. Satchel listened a minute for any sign of it but it was gone ... He wondered what its name had been, who had owned it, what hard history had left it alone here, at the foot of the hanging volcano.' (Source: Trove)
