A work of Australian literary fiction, Sea-Green by Barbara Hanrahan immerses readers in the dreamlike, surrealist world that defined her distinctive voice. Set against the backdrop of suburban Adelaide, the novel chronicles the lives of women navigating desire, memory, and the strange undercurrents of everyday existence through Hanrahan's signature blend of the gothic and the lyrical. Her prose conjures an atmosphere that is at once unsettling and tender, illustrating how the mundane and the fantastical coexist in the lives of her characters. Hanrahan's writing draws on a rich visual imagination — she was also a celebrated printmaker — and that sensibility saturates every page with vivid, almost hallucinatory imagery. Readers drawn to the tradition of Southern Gothic or the works of Angela Carter will find in Sea-Green a singular and haunting reading experience.
