Elspeth is full of inexpressible longings: to leave behind her beginnings in a small wheatbelt town, and a secret she scarcely comprehends. After migrating from Singapore, Francis just wants to make a life for himself that is not determined by the colour of his skin or the judgement of others.
Told by their only child, Eva, Between Water and the Night Sky is a literary novel about falling in love, and falling apart – the beautiful, sad story of a shared history that never ends. For readers of family sagas, migration stories, and novels exploring cultural identity.
