Authors Bio, not available
"Benang is brilliant. It is a mature, complex, sweeping historical
novel which will remind people of Rushdie, Carey and Grenville at
their best. This is an absolute page turner and in the end we are
left with a sense of joy and gratitude that such stories are still
possible that the silence has been broken." -- Sydney Morning
Herald
" Benang soars to the level of superb storytelling with an
emotional punch to the guts, not unlike Toni Morrisons Beloved." --
Weekend Australian
"Haunting and poignant, Benang pierces the heart even as it seeks
to lance the savage bleeding of the wounds of white settlement in
Australia." -- Canberra Times
