Quite different from Arnott's first two novels - Limberlost is a moving slice of life story explored from several angles in time and space. There are no apparent instances of the fantastic as in Flames and The Rain Heron, but Arnott's prose is always infused with a sort of magic which makes even the mundane seem dream-like.
