Two women awaken from a drugged sleep to find themselves imprisoned in an abandoned property in the middle of a desert. The Natural Way of Things is a gripping, starkly imaginative exploration of contemporary misogyny and corporate control, and of what it means to hunt and be hunted. But most of all, it is the story of two friends, their sisterly love and courage.

Critic reviews

"One hell of a novel by one of our most original and provocative writers." ( The Weekend Australian)
All stars
Most relevant
A confronting parable of the structural and cultural impediments to a woman’s freedom. A brilliant, evocative literary exploration of misogyny set against the stark landscape of an abandoned sheep station. Deeply uncomfortable but captivating.

Feminist fury beautifully wrought
