'A beguiling memoir, written from the heart, revealing a life lived truly.' * Cate Blanchett * `A truly wonderful book, a heartfelt achievement. I read it over two days, unable to put it down.' * Jane Campion * `The triumph of the prodigal daughter.' * Sydney Morning Herald on The Dressmaker * `An enormously compelling character study.' * Guardian on Proof * `A darkly clever Australian drama...Miss Moorhouse's direction is as crisply controlled as her characters' banter, and as quietly insidious in its own way.' * New York Times on Proof * `Unconditional Love is a shining example of the strength of mothers. Jocelyn's sensitivity and humour made me fall in love with her passion for filmmaking and her family. Her resilience is inspiring and beautiful.' * Nicole Kidman *
