Review:
"If, as they say, the past is another country, then Carroll is the ideal guide" * Sydney Morning Herald * "Exquisite . . . There are times in this book where I paused to admire the subtle craft of what Carroll is doing. Every piece of this book is sanded and planed and perfectly joined" * The Age * "A must read" * Australian Publisher & Bookseller * "An elegantly simple yet carefully crafted and stylishly narrated story" * Good Reading *
