Praise for Courtney Collins and Bird:
'Reading Courtney Collins' writing is an experience akin to falling under the spell of a song. An evocative, enchanting storyteller.' HOLLY RINGLAND
'A magical, heartbreaking page-turner. In luminous prose, Courtney Collins explores the vagaries of growing up, the slipperiness of time and space, the complexities of family and friendship, creativity and self-determination. I loved it.' JENNIFER HIGGIE
'Collins delivers propulsive but understated storytelling, with a refreshing focus on action instead of feelings . . . a gentle but deftly handled experience' THE SATURDAY PAPER
'The Handmaid's Tale meets The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart . . . Bird tenderly explores womanhood intergenerationally through a lens of community, hope and resilience' BOOKS+PUBLISHING
'It's been a long time in the making, but Courtney Collins' latest novel, Bird, has been worth the wait . . . clear and engaging' NEWCASTLE HERALD
