In true fable style, this is a simple story, but one so beautiful, poignant and moving it is impossible to ignore.
Daily Telegraph
A memorable and redemptive fable of our maddening times.
Booklist
Winton is a true storyteller who digs deep into nature's soul to procure his images.
Herald Sun
While an ecological message is obviously being pitched here, Blueback can't be dismissed as a simple tract. Tim Winton is determined to convince us of the preciousness of our oceans not through lectures but through his characters' steady wonder.
New York Times
At moments surreal, this captivating gem inspires and motivates.
Australian Financial Review
Though containing suspense, indignation and sadness, the overwhelming tone of the book is an affirming vitality.
