1 Careful Engineering Versus the Randomness of Fate Ryan Henderson , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 31 no. 1 2017; (p. 223-224)

'Spanning two continents, several decades, and multiple characters, the novel depicts the struggle of characters uprooted by the changes in Victorian English society who travel to Western Australia in hopes of finding a fresh start. Reid's depiction of these two men and the challenges they face suggests a harsh reality for convicts trying to create new lives for themselves following the completion of their sentences: although natural talent is necessary for success, luck also plays an important factor. Readers can enjoy watching the story unfold for Reid's characters as he uses historical details to create a realistic depiction of life in Western Australia during this time, while also enjoying the skill that goes into creating such a carefully crafted novel.' (Publication abstract)
