The Rain Heron
RACV/RACT Hotel, 154-156 Collins Street, Hobart TAS 7000
Ren lives alone on the remote frontier of a country devastated by a coup. High on the forested slopes, she survives by hunting and trading—and forgetting.
But when a young soldier comes to the mountains in search of a local myth, Ren is inexorably drawn into her impossible mission.
As their lives entwine, unravel and erupt—as myths merge with reality—both Ren and the soldier are forced to confront what they regret, what they love, and what they fear.
Robbie Arnott’s stunning second novel remakes our relationship with the natural world. The Rain Heron is equal parts horror and wonder, and utterly gripping.
Robbie will be joined in conversation by Transportation Press publisher and features reporter with ABC Hobart, Rachel Edwards.
Join them at the RACV/RACT Hotel.
