Winner of the 2023 Age Book of the Year and longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, “Limberlost” by Robbie Arnott, is a coming-of-age fiction narrative brimming with quiet longing and ambition. Set amid the Second World War, young protagonist Ned spends his summer hunting rabbits and pursuing dreams of buying a boat and seafaring. Evocative depictions of nature lull the reader through alternating passages of Ned’s journey of adolescence and adulthood. Readers will resonate with the novel’s themes of longing, recollection, and life. 🌳📖⛵
