The dazzling stories in this collection find those moments when people confront the strangeness and mystery of their lives. The revelations of intimidating old friends on holiday. An accident on a dark country road. A marine biologist in conversation with the ghost of Charles Darwin. The sudden arrival of American parachutists in a country town. A farmer troubled by miracles in the middle of a drought . . . The people in The High Places are jolted into seeing themselves and their worlds from a fresh and often disconcerting perspective.
Ranging around the globe from a remote Pacific island to outback Australia to the tourist haunts of Greece, these stories are written with extraordinary invention, great emotional insight and wry humour. Fiona McFarlane's first novel, The Night Guest, was greeted as a debut that offered 'the promise of literary greatness' (Los Angeles Review of Books). Her first story collection confirms that promise.
