Recenzii
"Cracking dialogue from likeable Harvey Beam, talkback radio host, who has lost his way in a big way brilliant debut " -- Australian Womens Weekly
"Cox excels at creating sympathy for her emotionally stunted lead. The rehabilitation of Harvey, a deeply flawed character, is vulnerable, darkly comic, and assembled like a well-laid fire. Careful and precise Cox honors the source of Harveys past behavior while still insisting that its time to let it go." -- Foreword Magazine
