Two friends run away from the God-fearing rules of a nameless backwater, bound for Sydney. Rose believes in saints and visions, but there's nothing immaculate about her pregnancy to a failed rock star. Felix was born without legs, but he's not about to let that stop him doing what he pleases. The pair fall headlong into the life of the big city with new friends, and manage to turn both upside down in unique, and slightly surreal ways. The most important things in life happen in a nanosecond. The Weather Girl is a brilliantly observed, dark and very funny tale about the nature of birth and love, miracles and omens - and the importance of timing.
