The Road From Coorain Bewertungen

"A small masterpiece of scene, memory and very stylish English. I've been several times to Australia; this book was the most rewarding of all" -- John Kenneth Galbraith
"The Road from Coorain is the work of a writer who relentlessly tugs at the cultural fences around her until they collapse, leaving her solitary under an immense Australian sky, enlarged to herself at least" * New York Times Book Review *
"This book, an extraordinarily gripping and inspiring work, will take place as one of the few heroic stories of girlhood" * Carolyn Heilbrun *
"Immensely readable, elegant and well-crafted" * Sydney Morning Herald *
