`Kernot's writing is imbued with life and grace and moments of infectious joy.' * SA Weekend * `In lyrical language, Kernot draws a comparison between the Australian bush and death: both are beautiful and desolate at once.' * Readings * `This book is beautifully written...while the novel is about grief, it is also about the importance of remembering and keeping the memory of loved ones alive.' * Magpies Magazine * `Kernot has created an intriguing tale of mystery and the imagination with a haunting ambience that the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe would recognise and admire...this is a delightful story about grief transformed and the urge to resurrect and to re-create.' * Saturday Paper * `The work couples the swift, clipped charm of a verse novel and the unpredictable beauty of the Australian landscape in a captivating manner that showcases an author entirely comfortable with her form...Lingers in the mind for weeks afterwards.' * Tulpa Magazine * `[An] exquisite lyrical verse novel...[A] sharply evocative tale.' * West Weekend * `An intense exploration of grief.' -- Steven Herrick `Completely mesmerising, fresh and unexpected.' -- Diana Sweeney, winner of 2013 Text Prize
