I really enjoyed Fiona McFarlane’s highly engaging saga that revolves around the search in 1883, for six year old Denny Wallace. An engaging writer who has the unique capacity to both tell a great story and to imbue her characters with layers of social and emotional detail, psychological depth and all with just the right level of pathos and humour. A wonderful read.

A wonderful novel that grabs you emotionally and takes you on a journey of despair, resilience, aspiration and essential love. The Brisbane River and landscape frames and helps intensify this moving and insightful story of woman as artist. Loved it!

Very enjoyable. Liane Moriarty’s “Here one Moment” grabs your attention and entertains you with wisdom and sensitivity. Highly perceptive observations of our humanity and sensitivities abound as the story unfolds. Great read.

Enjoyed the novel but felt let down by the resolution. I got the impression the author became carried away with the atmospherics and forgot the credibility of the plot for his audience, then tried to justify the outcome. A pity given the potentialities evident in the early parts of the novel.

Great read. Loved the way the suspense was developed and the characters evolved along with the plot. Prak effectively captures the silent threat to the character’s welfare that hides in the unrelenting outback, and in the companionship of trusted friends.
