Reviews
Howard Willis in The Age concluded that the novel is a "good read". he continued:" There are passages of excllent story-telling–the description, for example, of a country-show boxing bout is good, solid stuff."[2]
Reviewing the novel for The Canberra Times Stan Barney noted: "Miller is a good writer, developing a smouldering, sensual tension, particularly in the early part of the book before the two lovers finally get together. His characters are clearly defined so that one can sympathise with and under stand their dilemmas and actions."[3]
