Cochrane takes advantage of the closed and claustrophobic world of the voyage for full dramatic effect ... There is an absurd sort of humour about the narration as the stand-off between the two men escalates and their actions border on the ludicrous ... Beneath the humour, though, runs the pathos of a devoted daughter witnessing the unravelling of a beloved father.
Liam Davison, Weekend Australian
Anyone interested in this formative period in Australian history will want to read this book.
Simon Caterson, The Saturday Age
Delightful ... fascinating.
