'A sharply observed, hugely entertaining satire, written with this propulsive, urgent, driving rhythm.' -- Australian Arts Review 'An author to watch out for.' -- Better Reading 'Sellheim develops the structure of each character’s experience – how they relate one to another, their inner lives, and their position within society and how experience changes their awareness. This is accomplished with a light touch, discrete pieces of information woven through a witty narrative. And the characters are so engaging!' -- Queensland Reviewers Collective 'A literary love letter to east coast of Australia.' -- The Canberra Times
