From the internationally bestselling and beloved author of the critically acclaimed Boy Swallows Universe, a mesmerizing, uplifting novel of adventure and unlikely friendships in World War II Australiaâ??calling to mind The Wizard of Oz as directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Darwin, 1942. As Japanese bombs rain down on her hometown, newly orphaned Molly Hook looks to the skies and runs for her life. Inside a duffel bag, she carries a stone heart and a map that will lead her to Longcoat Bob, the deep-country sorcerer whom she believes cursed her family. Accompanying her are the most unlikely traveling companions: Greta, a razor-tongued actress, and Yukio, a Japanese fighter pilot who's abandoned his post.

With messages from the skies above to guide them towards treasure, but foes close on their trail, the trio will encounter the beauty and vastness of the Northern Territory and survive in ways they never thought possible.

A story about the gifts that fall from the sky, curses we dig from the earth, and secrets we bury inside ourselves, Trent Dalton's brilliantly imagined novel is an odyssey of true love and grave danger, of darkness and light, of bones and blue heavens. It is a love letter to Australia and an ode to the art of looking upâ??a buoyant and magical tale, filled to the brim with warmth, wit, and wonder… (mere)

Wat zal ik over dit boek zeggen. Vrolijk, hoopvol, wreed en prachtig. Over trouw en haat, over vetes en liefdes.
Vrolijk want de hoofdpersoon Molly Hook is een vrolijke, 12 jarige meid die voor het eerst mag meehelpen met het graven van graven op de begraafplaats waar ze woont met haar moeder Violet, haar vader Horace en haar vaders broer oom Aubrey.
Hoopvol, want ondanks de aframmelingen die ze krijgt van vader en oom en de verdwijning van haar moeder, blijft ze in het goede geloven, blijft ze de dingen rondom haar heen met verwondering bezien.
Wreed vanwege de aframmelingen en het onbegrip dat ze ondervindt van haar familie.
Prachtig want de Australische natuur in de omgeving van Darwin. Je ziet het bijna voor je.
Als Darwin in mei van 1942 wordt gebombardeerd door de Japanners en bijna met de grond wordt gelijk gemaakt vlucht ze samen met Greta Baumgarten (Greta Maze is de artiestennaam van deze actrice) de vriendin uit de omgeving weg. Ze besluiten de aanwijzingen op een gouddelf-pan die ze heeft gekregen en het verloren goud van Longcoat Bob te gaan zoeken. Op die gouddelf-pan staat een tekst waardoor je bij de plek zou moeten komen. Als ze door autopech te voet verder gaan krijgen ze gezelschap van een Japanse piloot die letterlijk uit de lucht komt vallen.
Het verhaal is mooi geschreven, haast poëtisch in de beschrijvingen.
Het had voor mij nog wel even langer door mogen gaan. ( )

This is one beautiful story.
1942. Twelve year old Molly, the gravedigger girl, has just lost everything to the Japanese bombing of Darwin. She is convinced her heart is turning to stone due to a curse put on her family by Longcoat Bob. The deep country sorceror who put a curse on her family after her Grandfather stole gold off his land. She is going bush to find him with Greta Maze & Yukio. A sharp tongued actress & a fallen fighter pilot to find Longcoat Bob to ask him to lift the curse. But as always, it's not the destination that counts, it's the journey.
Trent Dalton's writing is so beautiful & lyrical. I have so many favourite quotes! He describes the bush so gorgeously it's almost like stepping into an Aussie fairytale. This book is so immersive, it's really easy to get lost in the pages for a few hours & the story flows beautifully. I'm definitely checking out more of Trent Dalton's work.

This book goes from the grim reality of young Molly Hook's life to positively macabre graveyard scenes to episodes of enchantment and joy. The descriptions of the Northern Territories of Australia I found fascinating.
The author managed to keep the tension and pace until almost the end. ( )

Grave digger girl who talks to the sky. Drunk father and uncle who steel from the dead. An actress Greta teams up with Molly and a Japanese fighter pilot to find Bob
Who Molly believes put a curse on her family
The destination isn't important its the journey so descriptive of nature the bombing of Darwin, human relationships and life ( )

All book club members enjoyed the vivid storytelling and the diversity of the characters, their courage and journey. Some members thought the violence/abuse was a bit much, however the strength of the characters compensated the confronting content. All members loved the descriptions of the landscape -- they felt as though they were physically present in the scenes. Overall the book was rated 4/5. ( )

Hoe langer ik sta, hoe korter ik word
En het water stroomt naar de zilveren weg
Westwaarts waar de gele-vorkman koerst
Oostwaarts in de duisternis waar het woud bloeit
stad van steen tussen hemel en aarde
de plek achter je geboorteplaats
Bezit alles wat je draagt, draag alles wat je bezit
stap naar binnen in je hart van steen
Geen gewichten ban goud om te meten
Slechts weegschalen van waarheid en leugen
Want zij zijn een levende schat
Onder al onze schitterende hemels.
