I reviewed Zoe Morrison’s novel Music and Freedom for the Weekend Australian here, which I found to be a very compelling debut. I loved the way Morrison showed how a patriarchal society can  tacitly condone violence against women and also the way art and love can  ultimately triumph.

I reviewed Anna Spargo-Ryan’s The Paper House for The Age, which you can read here. I was really impressed by the way Spargo-Ryan used elements of magic realism to examine grief and mental illness in this poetic and captivating debut.
