À propos de cet audio

In this award-winning work of fiction, Ellen van Neerven leads readers on a journey that is highly imaginative and still achingly real.

Over three parts, Ellen van Neerven takes traditional storytelling and gives it a unique, contemporary twist. In 'Heat', we meet several generations of the Kresinger family and the legacy left by the mysterious Pearl. In 'Water', a futuristic world is imagined and the fate of a people threatened. In 'Light', familial ties are challenged and characters are caught between a desire for freedom and a sense of belonging.

Heat and Light presents an intriguing collection that heralded the arrival of a major new talent in Australian writing.

Content warning: Contains some violence and/or strong language.

Ce que les critiques en disent

'My book of the year was the short story collection Heat and Light by the young Queensland writer Ellen van Neerven. The stories evoke mystery and sensuality in equal measure, while the vivid portrait of landscape leaves the taste of dust in your throat and fear in your heart.' (Australian Book Review)
'A bold and adventurous work. This is a very fine debut from a talented writer.' (Books+Publishing)
'Her writing is concise and direct. She has the knack of knowing the right moment to bring a story to a conclusion. Van Neerven is an excellent storyteller who has drawn on her indigenous heritage for inspiration and has created a quality publication which should intrigue and delight her readers.' (Viewpoint)
'A breathtaking work of art.' (The Weekend Australian)
