Past the Shallows

Reviews

  • Juliette Hughes in The Sydney Morning Herald found the novel "an impressive debut" with the author having "a real voice, with power to evoke feeling, place and character."[1] Louise Swinn in The Australian noted that the book "is a harrowing tale that doesn't shy from the brutal reality at the thin end of the economy". She went on to say that the book was 'clearly the work of a talented new novelist.'[2]
