Fireshadow (2004) is a novel written by Australian writer Anthony "Tony" Eaton and first published by University of Queensland Press.
The other timeline follows an Australian boy named Vinnie Santani, and is set in the present day.
Taking place during World War II, Fireshadow follows two seventeen-year-old boys.
Half a century later, Vinnie Santiani flees into the remote Australian Bush in an effort to cope with the death of his sister.
A reviewer for Magpies commented that the award-winning book's "language is exceptional throughout ... while the author's insights into the emotional lives of the young people are sensitively conveyed."
