'Dalziell’s analysis is finely tuned to Jones’s refusal to settle for easy answers either in narrative form or in representing her characters’ inner lives ... Dalziell's insights made me want to return to the less-familiar texts and reread them with her key concepts in mind.' -- Sue Kossew * Australian Book Review *
'In this work of exemplary and extensive scholarship, Tanya Dalziell enters into a kind of conversation ... this book is a pleasure to read and an important addition to the critical work on Jones’s writing' -- Delys Bird * Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature *
"Tanya Dalziell has produced an accessible set of readings of Gail Jones’s work that remind me of important themes, demonstrate how the writing works to express them, and reveal details I had forgotten or not noticed at all ... I can enthusiastically commend the book to readers, whether they be students, scholars, or the legendary ‘general reader’ most of us hope to draw in." -- Paul Sharrad * Australian Literary Studies *
