Reviews

‘a really terrific novel’

It manages to do a home and horror and crime and cleverness with such delicacy. The way that she writes what it means to walk on eggshells through life is so well done. It’s a really terrific novel.

Kate Evans, The Bookshelf, Radio National

‘unforgettable’

Vivid and heart-rending, The Silent Listener is simply unforgettable.

Sue Turnbull, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald

'stunningly accomplished'

… an outstanding debut that highlights themes of domestic violence and living under constant threat. Yeowart is a master of creating tension between characters, while showcasing the electrifying small-town life of rural Australia. I can’t wait to see what she delivers next.

The Bookseller

‘impossible to put down’

…engaging, horrifying, and notably successful in maintaining suspense through nearly 500 pages.

Penelope Cottier, The Canberra Times

‘spectacular’

Yeowart's prose is spectacular
