In Craft for a Dry Lake, Kim Mahood embarks on an extraordinary journey to her heartland - the outback of her youth. Compelled to revisit the haunts of her childhood by the tragic death of her father, Kim seeks to lay his ghost to rest, but instead finds herself faced with many of her own. Her adventures are interwoven with the echoes of childhood memories and peopled by an intriguing cast of outback characters.

At times the lines between past and present become blurred as a daughter travels in the footsteps of her father, searching for a sense of place in this landscape she once called home.

A probing, lyrical, intimate, textural narration and exploration of what it means to be a settler on Australian Country and build connection to its First peoples. Narrator is PERFECT. I’m going to read in print now.

A classic and new personal favourite
