On Promise of Rain

"... a book of range and power..."

~ Tom Keneally

On Patent Lies

"Morgan is bravely experimental in her pursuit of ideas and means of expressing them."

~ Melbourne Herald

On Walk to Kulentufu

"Morgans observations contain some sharp truths about the nature of Australia, of culture, politics and relationships . She has written an angry, gripping novel, almost frightening in its intensity. Walk to Kulentufu is a big novel..."

~ Melbourne Herald

On Promise of Rain

".. managed with unhurried grace and a kindly eye for the varieties of Australian silliness. Gail Morgan's feel for the power of traditional story ... impresses and attracts."

~ The Observer
