Ranging from Australia to Greece, England to a Pacific island, the stories in Fiona McFarlane's story collection The High Places journey across continents, eras, and genres, charting the pivotal moments of people's lives. In "Mycenae," a middle-aged couple embarks on a disastrous vacation in the company of old friends. In "Good News for Modern Man," a scientist conducts research on a small, remote island, where he is haunted by a colossal squid and the ghost of Charles Darwin. And in the title story, an Australian farmer turns to Old Testament methods to relieve a fatal drought. All are confronted with events that make them see themselves and their lives from a fresh perspective-and what they do as a result is as unpredictable as life itself.
