A review by galaheadh
The Rain Heron by Robbie Arnott

I liked this very much! It felt new but not in a self-conscious way: a well-written, interesting story evoking feelings I don't usually get out of any book despite experiencing them plenty in the real world. I think it will take some thinking and some time passing before I can really articulate what makes this book click with me - another one of those deceptively simple books with so much ticking away under the hood.
