'Carol Chandler’s writing subtly compels you into a ‘dark wood’, of her characters’ ‘niggling restlessness’ so you feel you have one foot in ordinary ‘reality’ and one (metaphorical) foot in the dubious illumination of dream/memory/speculation … These are forcefully charged fragments of (dis)connection where glittering surfaces and shadowy, half-accusatory memories and perceptions create a powerful sense of undercurrent. This is rich, liminal prose that keeps you constantly engaged, wanting clarity and resolution in a world of compromised relationships and disturbing self-awareness. Clever, high-tensile paranoia … (David Gilbey, President, Booranga Writers' Centre, Charles Sturt University).'
