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 land­scape they inhabit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe colonial Australia of \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Walks Down\u003c\/i\u003e is noisy with opinions, arguments, longings, and terrors.
