It was reading as an affair of revelations and gifts. It fell like rain, greening my vision of Australian literature as a stony country where I would never feel at home'.

She illuminates the precision of Hazzard's electrifying prose, and celebrated the intelligence, wit and fierce humanity of her fiction. --Trove"
