Reviews
The sky is everywhere, is a tale of death, mourning, love and following one’s own heart. It is lyrically told, interspersed throughout with heart-wrenching pieces of poetry.
Booksellers NZ
This is just as much a romance as it is a tragedy and one that is ultimately uplifting.
Otago Daily Times
It’s a thought- provoking tale, lyrical at times, romantic, funny and compassionate.
