‘A deft and poetic writer.’ * Guardian * ‘Lohrey’s body of fiction always has philosophical foundations for its warmly human stories.’ * Age * ‘[Lohrey’s] storytelling is masterful: honed to pleasing plainness and assured in its measured tempo, her novels would take multiple readings to unpick her craft, which is deft to the point of invisibility at times.’ * Mercury * ‘[Lohrey’s] writing is the literature of ideas…elegant and transfixing.’ * Australian on The Labyrinth * ‘Lohrey makes writing look effortless: every sentence is a pleasure to read. Her characters immediately come alive on the page.’ * Saturday Paper on The Conversion *
