'Magnificent' * Tim Winton, author of Juice * 'Dusk is a sublime novel of loss and redemption, fight and surrender, that left me in absolute awe. Robbie Arnott's prose is incandescent, his storytelling mythic and filled with a wisdom that extends beyond the page. With Dusk, he asserts himself as one of Australia's finest literary writers' * Hannah Kent, author of BURIAL RITES * 'Starkly beautiful and deeply felt... Dusk is a book about love: not just the love between the twins but the love they feel for the landscape the pared-back textures of Dusks prose recall those of Cormac McCarthy' * Guardian (Australia) * 'A Conrad-like storyteller whose tales always tremble on the edge of the mythic and legendary' * Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's Ark * 'One of Australias finest writers' * Sisonke Msimang, author of The Resurrection of Winnie Mandela * 'Arnott has an eye and an ear for description that can elevate otherwise quiet moments to something genuinely transcendent' * Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley * 'Everything [ in Dusk]is drawn vividly, not least the stunning, monumental landscape: a character in itself, it seems to nod to past crimes and extinctions an absorbing adventure' * Daily Mail * 'Arnott writes with tenderness about characters and passion about the lands through they move. A stunner' * The Times * Dusk is my book of the year so far a story of loyalty, betrayal, desperation and the ties that bind, which culminates in one of the finest closing scenes Ive ever read * Bath Life * An expertly paced quest narrative doubling as the tale of a community riven by suspicion * Mail on Sunday *
