Coupled with thought excursions into poetry, fiction, history, aphorisms, pop psychology and beyond, Darling explores the life of a mind, rendering the experience of being inside the head of another – the self in the world – in a way that is both familiar and unfamiliar.
Alison Huber, Readings head book buyer
The follow-up to the acclaimed suburban dark comedy, Thunderhead, Miranda Darling's Fireweather is a whip smart novel about a woman clinging on to her sanity in a world that feels increasingly unfamiliar.

Tamuz Ellazam, Readings bookseller
The Farm is a claustrophobic psychological thriller from an exciting new Australian voice.
