'STCSA’s The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race features an excellent production and performances but can’t conceal the play’s troubling blind spots. By Ben Brooker.'
'Having published memoir, essays and fiction, Alice Pung has demonstrated an ability to write with flair and flexibility across genres. While each story is unique, there’s a comfort in reading a book by Pung, as you know the characters and narrative will immediately absorb you. One Hundred Days does just that – it’s a glorious song of a novel and, like Pung’s Ethel Turner Prize-winning Laurinda, can be savoured by young and old.' (Introduction)
