Sophie Cunningham is the author of two novels, Geography and Bird, and the non-fiction books, Melbourne and more recently Warning- The Story of Cyclone Tracy. She was also the editor of Meanjin and was, until recently, the chair of the Australian Council's literature board.
'A rich and multi-layered novel' Canberra Times 'Each of the voices is engaging and interesting in its own right...Cunningham's eye for emotional detail...underpins the encounters between Bird's very different characters.' Sydney Morning Herald '[Cunningham] creates a convincing sense of time and place, and can carry a reader with her telling observations and insights into the emotional lives of her characters.' Weekend Australian 'Cunningham never puts a foot wrong in relating a fabulous story, as unpredictable as it is convincing, as thoughtful as it is absorbing.' Age 'There's nothing quite like being carried away on someone else's flight of fancy and one of the true pleasures of reading a gifted story-teller is being able to take just such a journey...Cunningham takes the reader on an adventure through the psychological and emotional landscapes of her characters' lives, but also across the world...Cunningham had married truth and fiction to produce a well-written and fascinating story. A flight well worth catching.' Courier Mail 'compassionate and absorbing.' West Australian 'ambitious, enthralling and graceful' Adelaide Advertiser
