Formidably good . . . strong, subtle, echoing and profound (The Sunday Times)

A magnificent and moving documentary, a tribute to his roots (Mail on Sunday)

He seizes with stunning effect on an event far more bizarre than any fiction (New Statesman)

An excellent novel (Independent)

This is Mr Keneally at his best (Daily Telegraph)

Punchy, highly intelligent (Financial Times)

Mingles meticulous research with lucid characterisation (Daily Mail)

The best Australian writer alive (Auberon Waugh)
