Media Reviews
The work of a great storyteller * The Times *
A joy to read . . . His skilful prose which seems effortlessly to capture the rhythms and cadences of at least six different emigrant races . . . his essential humanity which enables him to examine misery and horror without ever losing his gift for hope and his old-fashioned insistence on a rattling good plot, crammed full of drama, will ensure the reader is thoroughly entertained * Evening Standard *
Keneally makes us feel, very movingly, the intelligence and imaginative openness that lie deeper than Tim's prejudices and inarticulacies . . . a novel [of] great vitality and charm * The Sunday Times *
A remarkably vivid and moving portrayal of a hostile world where good struggles to shine through * Time Out *
A masterpiece * Literary Review *
A great read * Mail on Sunday *
