Reviews
More praise for The Fortress: A Molotov cocktail of a book: intensely furious, perversely fascinating, and unputdownable. --Jodi McAlister, author of Valentine Unsettling and unashamed, The Fortress is a damning judgement on patriarchy, and a meditation on the labours of atonement. --Damon Young, award-winning philosopher and author What is certain is that The Fortress is not only incredibly timely given the #metoo movement, it's one of the most exciting novels to come out of Australia in the last decade. Her writing is musical, the story, incredibly powerful and engaging. This is a world completely fleshed out and alive, a colossus in literature, a celebration of the power of words to move and confront. --Better Reading (One of the Decade's Best Books) It's an imaginative exploration of the contours and confines of patriarchy, and what might lay beyond them, as immersive and thought-provoking as the fiction of Ursula Le Guin. --Sydney Morning Herald A rallying cry for women. It adds to the chorus of strong female voices reshaping the narrative of gender and power, and imagining the way into a new world. --Books and Publishing
