What the reviewers are saying about Brothers & Sisters

..."A volume of human stories, told in language as clear as stream water" ...

... "These Australian voices have a similar notable quality: tough, open, sensitive, but not over-refined; a refreshing and strong collection" ...

... "A worthy collection to give as a gift to one who bears the unmistakably similar strands of DNA as yourself" ...

... "Keen, sharp and challenging"...

... "The rivalries and resentments and the powerful, persistent love show through each of these stories like a watermark." ...

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
