A book of great stature with moral force and moral truth
Times Literary Supplement
A truthful portait of Australia
Independent on Sunday
An example of how fiction may still be individual, honest and humanly truthful. Malouf's great talent is precisely for unmasking the epic or world-historical - for finding the human backing to history's all reflecting mirror
The Times
It is this characteristic opposition which makes The Great World a truthful portrait of Australia. Sufferings and wrongs abound, but there is no dullness.
Independent
Lucid and accessible. His most ambitious book so far
