Recenzii

Formidably good . . . strong, subtle, echoing and profound
A magnificent and moving documentary, a tribute to his roots
He seizes with stunning effect on an event far more bizarre than any fiction
An excellent novel
The literary joy here has more to do with how individual each characterisation is, each one tuned to another note of Keneally's rich, strong prose
This is Mr Keneally at his best
Punchy, highly intelligent
Mingles meticulous research with lucid characterisation
The best Australian writer alive
