'Else Fitzgerald's rich collection captures the increasing terror of the warming world.'
‘clear eyes, sharp intellect and deep sorrow - both lament and protest song.’
‘A fireworks show of bursting ideas. The strength of this book is more than its beautiful prose, characterisation and concept: here is an emerging writer who has captured the heart of humanity in crisis with such insight that it feels like a revelation.’
‘Thrilling, prescient, and deeply moving … an electrifying new voice in Australian fiction.’
‘An exquisite elegy for the world we know, and the world we know is to come … delicate, precise and heartbreaking.’
‘Suffused with sensuality, riven with loss.’
‘A funny, tough, restless author for our times … intimate, surprising and sly.’
