Reviews
Beautifully written, subtle and haunting. * The Scotsman *
A lyrical, almost dreamlike account of a family's struggle to cope with the harshness of life in the Australian outback during the Depression. * Financial Times *
The writing never falters. The book has an immensely powerful realisation of pace, compelling characters, soul tearing moments, and atmosphere that seeps into your life. * Books For Keeps *
