Set between Hong Kong and Sydney at the beginning of the next century, this is a novel about time, blindness and chaos, played out against the backdrop of a world poised on the brink of total collapse. Anna, a photographer, becomes interested in fossils and their preservation of form across geological time. She encounters Seth, a blind palaeontologist, whose very different sensory world leads her to new departures in her work. Anna and Seth gradually admit each other into their very private worlds. But Anna's involvement with Seth's sister and her anti-government protests is ultimately to have tragic consequences.
