About this audiobook
An entrancing, atmospheric and lyrical novel that brings the beauty and mystery of the Australian bush alive on the page.
Feeling isolated and alone with her beloved aunt about to move overseas, Alisa begins unpacking the boxes her aunt has had to leave behind. In one of them, she discovers her father’s old sketchbook with a mysterious drawing of a white egret at a waterhole.
When the newly unearthed sketchbook is stolen, Alisa begins to experience a series of strange and magical events: a visit by an otherworldly stranger; a friend’s sister lost in the bush; animals around her imbued with an uncanny knowing, and the feeling that someone out there is watching her.
Impelled to make sense of these happenings, Alisa soon realizes that she is piecing together the clues to her parents’ untimely deaths and ultimately, to the stunning truth about who, or what, she really is.
Immerse yourself in the earthly and unearthly mysteries of this mesmerizing new novel from Australian author, Alexandra Manfield.
Alexandra Manfield
Alexandra is an Australian writer and ecologist living in the beautiful Yarra Valley, Birrarung country, on Wurundjeri land, east of Melbourne. She writes with a view of the mountains, and has a wildlife ecologist partner, two kiddos and a fearless indoor cat to keep her on her toes. She began writing at the age of 12, with the completion of an epic manuscript, now happily buried on unreadable floppy discs. When not writing, she can be found at the local bookstore or with her eye to a hand lens in her role as a rainforest ecologist. Alex’s love of the natural world has found a home in her fiction writing.
