Little Paradise
AuthorGabrielle Wang

3.5 stars

Little Paradise has been described as "an epic love story set during World War Two in Melbourne and Shanghai"

I am more than a little in awe of how well incorporated the little details of setting and culture and have been weaved into the story. It's intricate and lyrical and...
The Ghost's Child
AuthorSonya Hartnett
Permit a philosophical review, for it is a philosophical book. It is a superbly written story that immediately submerges the reader in lyrical prose. The style is perfectly suited to the poetic theme which has the echo and poignancy of an age-old fable. Style and structure gradually build the narrative...

Out of This Place
AuthorEmma Cameron
ISBN0763664049
To be honest with you, I wasn't that keen to read Cinnamon Rain, a new Aussie YA title from debut author Emma Cameron. For starters, I found the title "Cinnamon Rain" perplexing as it doesn't really conjure up anything particularly visually and/or emotionally impressive (or even familiar) in terms...
