Quotes

"Gripping, hilarious, tender and a whole lot more, this is, without doubt, one of the books of the year."


- Daily Mail (London)
"A powerful, poignant and funny novel, perched on the precarious line between protecting children and destroying families."


- Melbourne Age
"Amusing and unsettling . . . What I Did lets us into the mind of a child who is comically literal and utterly at sea in the world of adults."


- The Guardian
"Horribly plausible . . . [What I Did] brilliantly captures parent-child relations in the raw."


- The Independent
"Wakling creates believable conflict from the everyday facts of a child going just too far and a parent losing it . . . The novel is a strong depiction of a family in crisis."


- Sunday Age (Melbourne)
"A powerful parable of 21st century society . . . a fine, challenging novel."


- Mail on Sunday
