Publisher's Summary:
On the far northwest coast of Tasmania at Cape Grimm lies the isolated and idiosyncratic community of Skye, which practices a religion that reveres the imagination. One clear evening all the inhabitants enter the church hall, where they are locked in and burned alive. They have been persuaded to do this by a young man called Caleb Mean, also known as El Nino, the Christ Child. How could such a thing happen? And why? Are the secrets in the history of Skye itself? Or do they lie within the mysteries of the human soul?

Editorial Reviews:
An inexplicable tragedy lies at the center of Carmel Bird's hypnotic and intriguing Cape Grimm: the burning of nearly all of the town's inhabitants inside of a church by Caleb Mean, or as he is also known, the "Christ Child".
Humphrey Bower and Nicki Paul display a chameleon-like ability in capturing the subtle accents, inflections, and emotions of the mosaic of colorful personalities that make up Cape Grimm, and their powerful, authoritative performances add resonance to Bird's examination of how a small town's complex history can inform a seemingly senseless act of violence.
