A master of the incisive, seamless, turns-on-a-sixpence short story...this collection is a jewel
Kate Saunders, The Times
At times unsettling in the intensity of their vision, Malouf's stories provide a deeply intelligent meditation on the unknowability of the self
Anna Scott, Observer
Colours and landscapes are evoked in language that, at once lush and direct, is in itself a pleasure and a reminder that Malouf is also a poet of considerable talent
Aamer Hussein, Independent
Contemplative, ethereal, sharply perceptive, this collection is a fascinating exploration of the inner worlds that separate and connect us all
Mary Fitzgerald, New Statesman
Contemporary Australia lives and breathes, shudders, groans and even scratches without a trace of inhibition throughout these seven vivid narratives from one of the finest of contemporary writers
Irish Times
Graceful and unsettling... Malouf's prose is invariably elegant
David Flusfeder, Financial Times
His writing here has a fine descriptive delicacy and sensory exactness that act as guarantees of the stories' truth and the authenticity of the experiences they embody
Tom Deveson, Sunday Times
Malouf deals with both the vast and the seemingly unimportant... He does it with biting wit, elegance and a rare, uncluttered honesty
Chris Dolan, Saturday Herald
Malouf, always so precise in his characterisation, so poetic in his evocations of nature and so haunting in his insight into loneliness and frustrated love, is a writer to treasure
Francis Quinn, Literary Review
Poignant and wonderful story...concentrates, without effort, all Malouf's themes...it needs to be read
Prospect
Rare and luminous talent...an outstanding collection
Jem Poster, Guardian
Tender and luminous tales...It is his rich landscapes for which Malouf is most often praised and this collection contains some of the most evocative descriptions of the Australian continent
Chitra Ramaswamy, Scotland on Sunday
