You know those books where when you finish, you need to pause for a moment, holding the book tightly, because it was just so lovely? The Patron Saint of Eels is one of those. A gentle, thoughtful, beautiful story.
Australian Bookseller and Publisher
If you had a dollar for every book like this knocking around at the moment, that would add up to exactly one dollar. Gregory Day shares with the young Tim Winton an ability to use and explore a rich spiritual tradition without being imprisoned by it.
Sydney Morning Herald
Praise for The Patron Saint of Eels: Gentle in spirit, reverent and celebratory.
The Age
Praise for The Patron Saint of Eels: A wonderfully original work.
The Sun Herald
Praise for Ron McCoy's Sea of Diamonds: Delicately wrought and wonderfully executed, with a lively sense of humour and a prepossessing sense of place. It is in the confounding of expectations that the pleasures of this singular novel lie.
The Age
Praise for Ron McCoy's Sea of Diamonds: Like all good novels with a strong sense of place, Ron McCoy's Sea of Diamonds both celebrates and transcends its location. It is a story of finding yourself. I am pleased to have found Gregory Day.
Australian Book Review
Praise for Ron McCoy's Sea of Diamonds: This is the type of book that defies genres - you could call it literary because it is so well written - but really it’s intrinsic. The narrative lives within all Australians. It shimmers.
