A beautiful account of one woman's story that shines with the truth of all our stories -- Sophie Ward, author of Love and Other Thought Experiments A stunning exploration of betrayal: the slow-fuse way it burns through mind and body -- Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure for Sleep And Notre Dame is Burning is sharp and heartbreaking, lit by epiphany and counter-epiphany -- Katharine Kilalea, author of OK, Mr Field And Notre Dame is Burning is a heartbreakingly beautiful novel about the beginnings and ends of life and love and marriage, told with such deft precision that it feels both like a conversation with your best friend, and like discovering a literary masterpiece. Every single page holds some gem of wisdom. The prose is iridescent; It actually sparkles on the page. There are echoes of Claire Kilroy and Miranda July here, in that this is a wildy honest novel about the female experience. What a thrill to read such an extraordinarily accomplished debut. Miriam Robinson is a vital new voice in literary fiction - I absolutely loved it and can't wait to see what she does next -- Hattie Williams, author of Bitter Sweet
