The Lost Dog by Michelle de Kretser

Tom Loxley is holed up in a remote bush shack trying to finish his book on Henry James when his beloved dog goes missing. What follows is a triumph in storytelling, as 'The Lost Dog' loops back and forth in time to take the reader on a journey into worlds far removed from the present tragedy. Set in present-day Australia and mid-20th century India, here is a layered work that brilliantly counterpoints new cityscapes and their inhabitants with the untamed, ancient continent beyond. With an atmosphere of menace and an acute sense of the unexplained in any story, it illuminates the collision of the wild and the civilised, modernity and the past, home and exile. 'The Lost Dog' is a mystery and a love story, an exploration of art and nature, a meditation on ageing and the passage of time.
