Reviews

Reading this book is like listening to someone whose companionable, open-ended stories are absorbing yet elusive: you must make of them what you will
*Daily Telegraph*

part autobiography, part history, part travel book and part quest narrative, an unusual combination that nevertheless works. Indeed, Edmond's text is often a pure pleasure to read
*The Literary Review*

On one level, Edmond's curiously ambiguous book might be mistaken for a novel; on another, it is autobiography; on yet another it is literary history
*The Times*

In this part-memoir, part-fiction, part-history, Edmond attempts to find 'Luca Antara', the fabled land down under
*The Financial Times*

ultimately, any memoir's agenda may be to present the multifariousness of the self, and where Edmond the protagonist is most vivid is in his evocations of his adopted Australia
*New York Times*
