“A mature, intensely emotional and intelligent writer... Cooke has created a thought-provoking family study, brimming with insight. ”

“This hypnotic debut from Australian author Tranter pays homage to Henry James’s A Portrait of a Lady while offering a suspenseful story line worthy of Patricia Highsmith . . . ”
