Recensione:
The gripping work of an author at the height of his powers (The Times)
An immensely subtle study of the bad fit between moral systems and real life (The Sunday Times)
[Its] great strengths lie in its evocation of Australia at a particularly turbid period of its history, and in its characterisation of ordinary people faced with extraordinary dilemmas. (Daily Telegraph)
Superbly crafted . . . he effortlessly interweaves many of life's bigger dilemmas: the conflicts between love and duty; innocence and experience; conscience and courage. This is a thought-provoking and engrossing novel. (Sunday Express)
Meticulous, exact and beautifully written . . . Keneally has the ability to evoke an entire character, even an entire philosophy, in one sentence. (Literary Review)
An excellent novel . . . It is good on the Catholic Church, and on the ambiguous boundary between priest and confessor. It is also elegant, economical and extremely funny. (Financial Times)
