Praise for Past the Shallows ‘A work by a new master. Like Winton’s That Eye, The Sky, Parrett’s debut is an uncompromising and memorable tale.’ Sunday Tasmanian ‘Parrett’s debut marks the addition of a strong voice to the chorus of Australian literature.’ The Canberra Times ‘a finely crafted literary novel … genuinely moving and full of heart’ The Age ‘a fresh and vital voice in Australian fiction’ Australian Women’s Weekly ‘a small gem of a story’ Who Weekly ‘a rare work of fiction’ Good Reading ‘An amazing book by a wonderful writer – Cormac McCarthy meets David Vann meets Favel Parrett. Read this book.’ Sunday Times ‘clearly the work of a talented new novelist’ The Weekend Australian ‘her prose is as powerful as a rip’ WISH Magazine, The Australian ‘Wintonesque’ Herald Sun ‘sparsely and simply told, with an unwavering clarity, Parrett’s controlled, unadorned narrative completely immerses the reader.’ Judges’ notes, Miles Franklin Literary Award Copyright Published in Australia and New Zealand in 2011 by Hachette Australia (an imprint of Hachette Australia Pty Limited) Level 17, 207 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000 www.hachette.c......
