"A writer of extraordinary range and imagination" Cate Kennedy "There is a poetry in Mills's writing that shimmers like desert air - and in her storytelling, in the way she captures the moods of time, there is something mystical. Daring, original and ambitious." The Australian "Shockingly good." The Saturday Paper An electrifying novel about an oracle. A small town. And the end of the world as we know it... One morning, the residents of a small coastal town somewhere in Australia wake to discover the sea has disappeared. One among them has been plagued by troubling visions of this cataclysm for years. Is she a prophet? Does she have a disorder that skews her perception of time? Or is she a gifted and compulsive liar? Oscillating between the future and the past, Dyschronia is a novel that tantalises and dazzles, as one woman's pescient nightmares become entangled with her town's uncertain fate. Blazing with questions of consciousness, trust, and destiny, this is a wildly imaginative and extraordinary novel from award-winning author Jennifer Mills.

This was quite an interesting read, despite going from one place in time, to another, as the main character Sam, suffers from migraine headaches, and can also predict a future as a child, but then as an adult, is abandoned by her mother. Set in a coastal town named Clapstone, in Australia, it depicts the struggles of the remaining townspeople's ability to cope, when they are abandoned by the government. They look to Sam with hope. Mediocre.

Dystopian fiction has a new face: cli-fi, or climate change fiction, is forcing us to confront our new reality. These books bring together the scary science of what we‘re facing with the art of literary writing. Dyschronia by Jennifer Mills is the best example I‘ve discovered so far, a strange and unsettling but beautifully rendered book.
