Her description of the harshly beautiful Australian landscape is unforgettable, more poetry than prose
Grenville has emerged not only as the truth-teller but also something of a hero . . . her novels are important quests that go beyond art
It will wrench your heart
Kate Grenville is one of Australia's finest writers . . . her great skill as a writer is to take the barest of biographical details and spin them into something of intricate moral complexity
I was thrilled to find myself back beside the river I'd come to know so well in The Secret River. The power with which Kate Grenville evokes places and people is so remarkable that I could remember the smell of the air there - and it was no surprise to discover that Sarah Thornhill's story is as gripping and illuminating as her father's was
