Six-year-old Denny Wallace has gone missing during a dust storm, and the entire community is caught up in the search for him. As they scour the desert and mountains for the lost child, the residents of Fairly--newlyweds, farmers, mothers, indigenous trackers, cameleers, children, artists, schoolteachers, widows, maids, policemen--confront their relationships, both with one another and with the land-scape they inhabit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe colonial Australia of \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Walks Down\u003c\/i\u003e is noisy with opinions, arguments, longings, and terrors.
