‘Robert Hillman entwines, with risk and skill, different and seemingly incompatible stories…He adds heft to the distinguished fiction of rural Australia.’ -- Australian on The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted ‘It is not often that a novel is both a great read and a sobering chronicle about the painful possibilities of human behaviour…Robert Hillman’s The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted is such a one.’ -- Sydney Morning Herald on The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted ‘Hillman’s ability to conjure up the rhythms and texture of rural life is a source of joy…This is a novel about the importance of freedom as well as the redemptive qualities of love – and how facing up to the past can be the key to both freedom and love.’ -- Saturday Paper on The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted ‘Vivid and moving.’ * Age *
