A terrific tale of love and redemption that captivates from the first line. -- Nicholas Shakespeare Miller's fiction has a mystifying power that is always far more than the sum of its parts... his footsteps - softly, deftly, steadily - take you places you may not have been, and their sound resonates for a long time. * Sydney Morning Herald * The most impressive and satisfying novel of recent years. It gave me all the kinds of pleasure a reader can hope for. -- Tim Winton
