The Sunlit Zone

The Sunlit Zone is a moving elegy of love and loss, admirable for its narrative sweep and the family dynamic that drives it. A risk-taking work of rare, imaginative power. The Sunlit Zone combines the narrative drive of the novel with the perfect pitch of true poetry.'A darkly futuristic vision shot through with bolts of light. Brilliant, poignant, disconcerting'. -Adrian Hyland, author of Kinglake 350 and Diamond Dove'This novel in verse, at once magical and irresistible, draws us in to a vivid future. In Lisa Jacobson's telling, the Australian fascination with salt water and sea change is made over anew. Romance holds hands with science and takes to the ocean'. —Chris Wallace-Crabbe, author of The Domestic Sublime and By and Large.
