An unusual novel which requires the reader to simply surrender to its extraordinary beauty. Woolfe successfully combines a complex hart-wrenching love story with explorations into Asperger’s syndrome, autism, science, genetics, psychology, the human condition and the very nature of love.”
Book Tweep – Ann Somerville
“Sue Woolfe attracted many fans with her award-winning novel Leaning Towards infinity. Her latest book should engage many more…Woolfe has a finely tuned sense of the ridiculous and she can imbue ordinary life with sudden magic.”
Australian book Review
“Captivating with its intimations of sadness and profound insights, it seems to me that Woolfe has painted a picture of the tragic human condition of never quite fitting in to our tiny, pitiable worlds.”
Courier Mail.
“This is surely what fiction is all about: the odd and the ugly rather than the beautiful and bland people we are saturated with. The intensity of these outcasts and their unrequited emotions make this novel rich and complex in a way that the ordinary and plausible simply couldn’t be.”
