Powerful Emotional Impact, Stephen Payne , single work review
— Review of A Fortunate Life A. B. Facey , 1980 single work autobiography ;

Payne concludes his review: 'Reading A Fortunate Life is a humbling, educational experience. The early chapters describe an Australia I have never seen so close up before. The Gallipoli section is a haunting portrait of man gone mad. From what follows one can draw Facey's prescription for a fortunate life – family love, and hard, satisfying work.'
