`Michael Sala taps into the tension and fear of the times to help build the mood...The cracks are widening long before the earth moves in this novel of a family locked into patterns of violence.' * Australian Women's Weekly * `Unputdownable...Sala creates an atmosphere of simmering tension with an undercurrent of unpredictability that seeps into every exchange. [He] is a brilliant writer.' * Saturday Paper * `This is powerful, poetic, extraordinary fiction...Sala never falters.' * Australian * `A wise and timely novel that builds and breaks like a summer storm-just as beautiful, just as brutal.' * Fiona McFarlane * `There is so much to praise about this book. Michael Sala's prose is clear and unadorned, the setting exquisitely rendered, but it is his characters-all of them flawed and complex and deeply, deeply human-who will stay with me for a very long time. I would defy anyone to read this story and remain unmoved. The Restorer is an incredibly powerful novel and, I believe, an important one.' -- Hannah Kent 'Michael Sala is a sensitive, perceptive observer of human relationships and I have long admired his work. The Restorer is a beautifully written novel about growing up, starting again-and how the riptide of personal history can pull us further and further from safety, no matter how hard we fight.' -- Charlotte Wood `In this remarkable novel, Michael Sala builds tension masterfully until an explosive final act...This is powerful and poetic fiction that showcases a writer at the height of his powers.' * Judges' Report, Victorian Premier's Literary Awards, 2018 *
