The Animals in That Country: Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award
Laura Jean McKay
Spoiled for good books. Just finished Tade Thompson's excellent upcoming Far From The Light Of Heaven and now onto @laurajeanmckay 's The Animals In That Country, my first on the Clarke shortlist, and... bloody hell, frankly. Amazing, traumatic, fabulously written stuff.
