Recenzii

'Light, relevant, snappy, well paced, subtly structured, unlaboured and interestingly shaded. It has political credentials but wears them lightly, serious characters but sketches them with humour ... And the details aren't extrapolations from current events - they are current events. Just in case you happened to have forgotten.' -- Jim Flint (author of HABITAS), Zembla 'Brutal, chilling and moving ... This is thrilling stuff' -- The Australian 'Remarkable ... Here is Keneally at his polemic best and fairest ... it rings - or tolls - like a bell.' -- Adelaide Advertiser 'This crisp, smart new novel - his most accomplished recent work - is particularly timely...Keneally, a consummate storyteller, particularly in recent years, has often relied on tight, suspenseful plots to articulate his concerns. That skill is fully evident in this new book. For that reason, I do not wish to spoil the pleasure many readers will experience as they follow the twists and turns of a tale told with an appealing economy' -- Andrew Riemer, Sydney Morning Herald 'It shows why Australia needs writers such as Keneally more than ever before.' -- Melbourne Age 'You won't put it down' -- Courier Mail
