Editorial Reviews
Review
Wilkins is a premier writer. Of that there is no doubt. He has a beautiful way, using the gentlest of brush strokes, of conveying human frailties and challenging the reader to stay with him. Hedley Mortlock NZ HERALD Book of the Week After his second novel, Little Masters, Damien Wilkins had to be seen as one of our most accomplished writers. Chemistry confirmed that, and now his fifth novel makes it clear that he is here for the long haul and has an assured place in New Zealand’s literary history. Nelson Wattie DOMINION POST
