Praise for Charlotte Wood's novels

'The Children confirms her as a captivating, questing writer whose work is well worth watching."
- The Australian

'The Submerged Cathedral ... is a sustained tribute to romantic passion; the kind of enduring love that survives all manifestations of malevolent fate … this is a book about the cultivation and worship of a relationship, written in such limpid and beautiful prose that Charlotte Wood herself should be celebrated.’
- The Sunday Age

'Charlotte Wood’s debut novel marks her as a fine Australian talent … impressive in her control of mood and voice.'
- The Canberra Times
