Trade Review
It is this characteristic opposition which makes The Great World a truthful portrait of Australia. Sufferings and wrongs abound, but there is no dullness. * Independent *
An example of how fiction may still be individual, honest and humanly truthful. Malouf's great talent is precisely for unmasking the epic or world-historical - for finding the human backing to history's all reflecting mirror * The Times *
Lucid and accessible. His most ambitious book so far * Guardian *
A truthful portait of Australia * Independent on Sunday *
A book of great stature with moral force and moral truth * Times Literary Supplement *
