Winner of the International Dylan Thomas Prize THERE IS IN THESE TALES A RECURRENT \'FEELING OF QUEASY ANTICIPATION, \' AS ONE OF MCFARLANE\'S CHARACTERS OBSERVES, \'AS IF SOME TERRIBLE THING MIGHT HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT.\' . . . IT\'S A MOOD YOU ASSOCIATE WITH FLANNERY O\'CONNOR, EVIDENTLY ONE OF MCFARLANE\'S INFLUENCES, AS WELL AS PATRICIA HIGHSMITH.-- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (EDITORS\' CHOICE) Ranging from Australia to Greece, England to a Pacific island, the stories in Fiona McFarlane\'s story collection The High Places journey across continents, eras, and genres, charting the pivotal moments of people\'s lives. In Mycenae, a middle-aged couple embarks on a disastrous vacation in the company of old friends. In Good News for Modern Man, a scientist conducts research on a small, remote island, where he is haunted by a colossal squid and the ghost of Charles Darwin. And in the title story, an Australian farmer turns to Old Testament methods to relieve a fatal drought. All are confronted with events that make them see themselves and their lives from a fresh perspective--and what they do as a result is as unpredictable as life itself.
