Beautifully crafted . . . highly original and deeply moving (Sunday Express)
Thomas Keneally is a novelist of high quality and great daring . . . Best of all he is a marvellous storyteller. This is a splendid and satisfying novel (Scotsman)

The story is a strong one and Keneally tells it with all his customary verbal richness and exactitude (Independent on Sunday)
