Leaving, Karen Wyld , extract novel
S. L. Lim, Revenge, Jinghua Qian , single work review
— Review of Revenge : Murder in Three Parts S. L. Lim , 2020 single work novel ;

'S. L. Lim’s second novel is a vicious delight – a lit fuse that means to burn the whole house down.'

Malcolm Knox, Bluebird, Linda Jaivin , single work review
— Review of Bluebird Malcolm Knox , 2020 single work novel ;

'Bluebird, the setting of Malcolm Knox’s latest novel, is an insular little community on the coastal periphery of “Ocean City”, a wink-wink stand-in for Sydney. The problem with Bluebird, and it’s mostly a problem for the middle-aged white male kidults at the centre of the novel, is that it’s changing. Outsiders are moving in, the Chinese are buying up, and people who’ve lived there only five years maddeningly claim to be locals as they drop in on waves.' (Introduction)

Jacqueline Kent, Vida, Louise Swinn , single work review
— Review of Vida : A Woman for Our Time Jacqueline Kent , 2020 single work biography ;

'Hot on the heels of last year’s memoir, Beyond Words: A Life with Kenneth Cook, journalist and author Jacqueline Kent focuses her gaze on the indefatigable women’s rights campaigner Vida Goldstein. Kent has written biographies of pianist and social activist Hephzibah Menuhin – sister of Yehudi – as well as Australia’s first full-time book editor, Beatrice Davis, and, perhaps most notably, two books analysing the life and work of Julia Gillard. Like Clare Wright, her research highlights the lives of women who have made an impact in small or big, but often forgotten, ways.' (Introduction)
