Christine Bongers

Twelve-year-old Cecilia Maria was named after saints and martyrs\nto give her something to live up to. Over my dead body, she\nvows.

\n

In the blinding heat of 1970s Queensland, she battles six\nbrothers on her side of the fence, and the despised Kapernicky\ngirls, lurking on the other side of the barbed wire. Secrets are\nburied deep, only to surface decades later when Cecilia drags her\nown reluctant teenagers back home to dance on a grave and track\ndown some ghosts.

\n

Warm but tough-minded, DUST glitters with a rare and subtle wit,\nilluminating the shadows that hang over from childhood and finding\nbeauty in unexpected places.
