Marvel Loch, Western Australia. Beneath a vast blue and gold landscape lie disused mine shafts. Above the ground rise silos. This is a place of mysteries and myths: the perfect setting for a bold new novel which is part whodunit, part family saga, part psychological thriller, part magical fantasy, charting the lives and decreasing fortunes of the Cleaver family across the 20th century.
'This is a major work of Australian fiction.' The West Australian
Oceana Fine is the name of a new strain of wheat - but there is nothing of uniformity in the novel of that name. It sticks up from the plain of naturalism more jagged and more distinctive than a silo. From realism almost to surrealism, this is a novel always original, exciting, different. Go for it! And three cheers for Tom Flood, a new author with ideas and daring!' - Geoffrey Dutton, Miles Franklin Award chief judge.
'Tom Flood's single, early, neglected, prize-winning novel. Its inclusion in the Untapped Collection means it will be neglected no longer.' Delys Bird, author.
