"A big narrative ... The plot is gaunt yet speedy; characters are complex and convincing; setting is evoked deftly" - New Zealand Herald
"Like a Venetian Captain Corelli's Mandolin, The Antipodeans lifts the lid on the violent, messy recent history of a part of Europe which is now a tourist mecca and tells a rich, intense story of decades-old wrongs of the heart. It does it with such humanity, you won't want to put it down" - Simon Edge, author of The Hopkins Conundrum
"The Antipodeans is a gripping, skilfully constructed novel that knows more than any single novel has a right to know about the hazards of both love and war, loyalty and betrayal, Italian politics over the past eighty years and, oh yes, rugby" - Charles Lambert, author of The Children's Home
