Reviews for Julia Paradise

'Marked by lush, erotic imagery and subtle, complex handling of motifs, this slim and powerful first novel from Australia is a carefully controlled psychological study.' * Publisher's Weekly * 'Utterly original...a remarkable accomplishment.' * New York Times * 'Jones should be counted amongst Australia's most interesting and talented novelists. His gift lies in his ability to write with crisp clarity about the murky and the intangible; with confidence and force about the uncertain; with detachment about passion and with passion about detachment.' * Australian Book Review *
