'Lucashenko is an exhilarating writer, and this generous book is her most remarkable to date.' Michelle de Kretser 'Gripping, political, horny, moving and very, very funny.' The Guardian '[Melissa's] bashed out a space for herself in our literary culture with work that's both demotic, funny, and uncompromising.' Tim Winton 'Brimming with unforgettable characters and love in all its guises, Edenglassie is as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking.' The Weekend Australian 'Edenglassie moves in a great concentric arc with many ripples, like those in the river that is central to the action; and which is an ancient, unbroken vein that pulses life from past to present to future in a continuous cycle.' Australian Book Review 'Edenglassie - an early name for Brisbane - slides deftly between past and present and eyes a future for all.' The Age 'A haunting new epic novel from one of our finest storytellers.' Australian Women's Weekly
