'Mette Jakobsen is an expert in creating images...Jakobsen describes the sights and sounds of inner-city Newtown as lovingly as she details the bush in the Blue Mountains.' Readings 'A moving look at love and loss.' New Zealand Women's Weekly 'Jakobsen skillfully paints the picture of grief, illustrates the importance of empathetic support and shows just how destructive denial can be. Her characters are real and flawed, and it is impossible not to feel their suffering. She evokes her setting, both the mountains and the inner city, with consummate ease. Many readers will find they are moved to tears by this stirring read.' BookMooch 'This was such powerful writing, and I could feel all of the characters leaping out of their pages like real people...I felt like I was walking the streets of Sydney and the mountain homes.' Cosy Dragon 'A short book that packs an emotional punch.' Otago Daily Times 'Jakobsen's sensory sensibility shines...Beautifully evocative and undoubtedly Australian in its voice.' Farrago 'A tenderly rendered story...Quietly written with a deft hand and a light touch.' Geelong Advertiser 'Jakobsen writes with a lightness of touch...I felt like I was in the heart and ticking time bomb of loss...This is an absorbing read; beautifully paced, exquisitely written.' Dominion Post
