Sphere, 2025

'Storytelling at its best. I was enthralled' Sarah Winman (on Inga Simpson's Willowman) 'Stunningly wrought . . . The Thinning moves with the compressed momentum of a thriller towards a spectacular climax' Guardian 'We haven't always lived like this . . .' Fin grew up by an observatory, learning about telescopes and planets, inspired by the passions of her parents, then leaders in their fields of astrophotography and astronomy. Those days are long over. Now Fin, her mother, Dianella, and a band of outliers live deep off the grid, always on amber alert and always ready to run. In the outside world, things are not good: extinctions and a loss of diversity threaten what's left of the environment. With a new disaster looming, Fin finds herself thrust into an unlikely partnership with a stranger who has appeared in their camp - one of a new breed of evolved humans, the Incompletes, who are widely distrusted. But the pair will need to work together during a dangerous journey if they are to play their part in an audacious plan to help restore the natural world - and humankind. The Thinning is both an exquisitely written novel of nature and urgent thriller by the bestselling and acclaimed author of Willowman and The Last Woman in the World. **'No label can fully do justice to the essence, the quality, the depth of a tale that's as subtle yet momentous as The Thinning. It is one of those rare novels you may wish to read again' ARTSHUB 'Heart-racing . . . [An] emotive tour de force' THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY 'Incandescent . . . An electric and melancholy tale, disturbingly believable but ultimately - and surprisingly - hopeful' THE STELLA PRIZE JUDGES 'An emotional tribute to the natural world. Moving. Urgent. Beautifully written' KAREN VIGGERS 'Incandescent, righteously angry, superbly constructed' MICHAEL WINKLER** Horrifying, yet humane and ultimately hopeful - a masterwork' Angela Slatter 'Inga Simpson deftly combines horror and hope in this necessary read that is sure to set the literary world on fire. Will grab you and not let go' Christina Dalcher 'Creepy and chilling' Observer
