Leisl and her daughter Else have their own language exchanging facts 'like a frontier trade'. As the country is reclaimed by rains they escape the city, returning to their family home on a distant peninsula. Seasons become extreme. Else adapts, thriving in the wet and warming world. In Else, Leisl sees herself her father, his mother as the past becomes present, and present: past. But flash floods are followed by more weather events, and the pair are forced further and further down the 'Ninch'.
A novel about belonging, Else imagines a possible future in the story of one family and lyrical, evocative prose.
