Description
Buttons is found in a squalid house and rescued in a wheelbarrow. She’s an odd thing. No one knows how old she is, or her story, but it must have been bad for her to do the things she does; sewing buttons over her clothes like armour, placing them over her eyes and peering through. But people are wary, there’s something not quite right about Buttercup.
Buttons is someone new. And something is coming, she can smell it in her dreams. When she finds a map to a series of macabre art works hidden in secret pockets of the abandoned city, she forms a relationship with the deceased artist. And she does something that will rock the Hobart mob, something inexplicable, something magic.
And there’s Sarah, banished from her people and still grieving for her children who disappeared 12 years ago. When she hears of a rescued child, too young to be her daughter, she risks the dangers of walking to the city to find out for herself. Father and Akiva the tattooed girl accompany her, not realising they’re walking into a time when everything changes.
Eat My Shadow is a post collapse series that renews belief in humanity. It’s a wildly beautiful story about when things fall apart and people come together.
It’s a new kind of book, Indigi-fi, returning to our indigeniety. A book about love, loss and finally becoming who we were always meant to be.
Finding our hope.
