Winner of the 1995 Victorian Premier's Award for First Fiction Shortlisted for the 1995 Miles Franklin Literary Award Beneath a waterfall on the Franklin, Aljaz Cosini, river guide, lies drowning. Beset by visions at once horrible and fabulous, he relives not just his own life but that of his family and forebears. In the rainforest waters that rush over him he sees those lives stripped of their surface realities, and finds a world where dreaming reasserts its power over thinking. As the river rises his visions grow more turbulent, and in the flood of his past Aljaz discovers the soul history of his country.
