Peta's Review

This is Grenville at her very best. Powerfully bringing to life the "larger than life" Lilian, Grenville has given life to an Australian Myth - the story of Bea Miles (1902 - 73). A book everyone should treat themself to!

Publisher Review

Kate Grenville's debut novel, complete with a special new introduction by Toni Collette, is now available as a Text Classic. A must-read for fans of one of Australia's most prominent writers.
