 “It's been a long time since I read the first few pages of a novel and thought, I need to read this book. I adored the characters, the subtle humour and insights into rural Australian communities.” – J.P. Pomare, best-selling author of Call Me Evie

"The book is powerfully atmospheric: the desperation of an outback town, the toxic masculinity, the marginal characters, the vivid sense of impending violence. Kaufman immediately draws you into his finely crafted world with tight, punchy writing, capturing his rogue's gallery of characters right down to the regional patios and the omnipresent scent of beer and cigarettes. The two main characters – a sexy femme fatale and an underdog you can't help cheer on – are fascinating, too. I read it all in two sittings. I was reminded somewhat of a more modern version of Wake in Fright, but with more romance and emotional connection." – Goodreads reviewer
