'Wendy Pratt has created a shimmering, liminal space of loss that lifts us up and carries us with such tenderness and beauty that we come out the other side transformed' VICTORIA BENNETT, ALL MY WILD MOTHERS 'A fascinating, haunting pilgrimage through a personal and collective past. In The Ghost Lake, Pratt embarks on a moving exploration through the ages, excavating clues as to what it means to be alive, to be human, to belong' JADE ANGELES FITTON, HERMIT 'A powerful exploration of loss, place, connection and self, every page running rich with poetic detail. I devoured it slowly, wanting to savour every word. An astounding work of internal and external history' ADAM FARRER, COLD FISH SOUP 'Both intimate and universal, Wendy Pratt’s brave and luminous memoir reminds us of the healing power of landscape to connect us not just to the ancient people who once lived on the land we now call home, but also to ourselves' SARAH LANGFORD 'From the tender rituals of caring for her daughter’s grave to her thoughtful exploration of nearby burial chambers, Wendy Pratt interlaces the strands of her life to form a moving memoir of finding belonging. The Ghost Lake invokes the generative power of setting your own creative path through life and illustrates the importance of attuning to nature' SALLY HUBAND
