A compelling novel rich in beauty and magic by "a gifted storyteller" (Sydney Morning Herald). Xavier is an outsider, with ideas that just don't add up in a post-modern world. It is not easy trying to become an artist. Especially with a tribal Hmong mother and an Australian father, both of whom are believed dead - and a grandfather who was a Hmong shaman. Unexpectedly, modern medicine saves Xavier from a fatal head injury with consequences that no-one is prepared to believe. For answers, Xavier must travel to the other side of the world: "there are others". Who is Eve, is she really afflicted with the same strange ability? But she is much more than Xavier ever dreamed of. Somehow, they seem to have escaped the limitations of Western Rationalism, even if science is working on an explanation. Set one year before 9/11, The Floating is about being different and fitting in, discovering love, and finding inspiration in small things. A brilliant novel for anyone who still dares to dream.
