Haunting
Stunning
A torrent of a book – take the plunge
This novel of spiritual desolation and redemption gathers such an awesome, tragic momentum that the fantastical aspects seem as crucial to the story as do the raging rivers, sheer gorges and imposing rainforests
Death of a River Guide is possessed of both a fierce, seething energy and a limpid, unexpected tranquillity
One of the most auspicious debuts in Australian writing
A vivid, voluptuous, exhilarating writer
