Dusk - Robbie Arnott

Title: Dusk
Author: Robbie Arnott

In Dusk, Robbie Arnott invites readers into the rugged highlands, where a formidable predator roams and people struggle to survive. The story follows Iris and Floyd, down-on-their-luck twins who take on the challenge of hunting Dusk, a feared puma preying on local shepherds. But their journey turns into more than a quest for a bounty; it becomes an exploration of a land steeped in mystery, history, and hidden truths. As the twins trek deeper into the highlands, they uncover the region's ancient conflicts and confront their demons.

With prose described as "incandescent" by acclaimed author Hannah Kent, Dusk is perfect for readers who savour poetic, mythic storytelling. Arnott's novel is a tale of redemption, wild landscapes, and the untamed spirit of Australia.
