‘The buffalo has a beautiful dark reddish brown coat,’ Grandpa said. ‘Same colour as your hair. And he’s a powerful animal. Someday you’ll meet somebody . and he’ll have the gift of buffalo medicine.’ When Alex inherits a cabin in the country she’s drawn closer to her lost father and to the prairie itself, with its wind time, grass time, pulse-of-the-earth time. For Lonny, that land is a place of ghosts and bad memories, but he still has trouble letting it go to some city girl who surely doesn’t deserve it. When they meet, Alex realises that Lonny is the one. But how can he have buffalo medicine? He is just as lonely and crazy as me? For Lonny, discovering Alex means that he can no longer escape the past, or deny the tenderness he feels. This is what it’s like to free-fall into somebody’s heart. A timely story for Australians, Bone Dance is about vital connections with the land, with the past and with each other. ‘An unconventional, memorable love story.’ THE HORN BOOK ‘A complex tale of love, loss, regret and redemption, weaving the spirit world with everyday life.’ KIRKUS REVIEWS
