'Robbie Arnott’s The Rain Heron is a heartcracker of a book, a near-future fable about resources, captivity, and human nature. Humans behave at their very best and their very worst under Robbie Arnott’s pen, giving when they have nothing and taking when they have everything. It’s a shimmering, luminescent novel, difficult to absorb in one sitting and impossible to forget.' (Introduction)
