Witty, clever and intriguing ... satisfying, seductive ... slyly elegant, wry and humourous ... she writes so tenderly of rose growing and so ironically of revolution.
The Sydney Morning Herald
Deservedly praised ... Written with panache and humour ... evocative and intelligent.
The Weekend Australian
A beautiful piece of work. Behold a canvas crammed with broad streaks and fingerprints of red - of roses, blushes and blood.
The Age
Remarkably detailed, fresh and surprising ... a moving yet restrained love story ... absorbing and tragic ... accessible and compelling.
The Eye
Builds quietly and skilfully ... The writing is fluent, by turns gently ironical and lyrical, places and moments vivid ... an admirable novel, operating effortlessly on many levels, from witty romance to social critique.
