millennium' John Boyne
'As addictive as the best soap opera' Daily Mail
Acclaim for Barracuda:
'Tsiolkas writes with compelling clarity about the primal stuff
that drives us all: the love and hate and fear of failure... A
brilliant, beautiful book. If it doesn't make you cry, you can't be
fully alive.' (Sunday Times)

the work of a superb writer who has completely mastered his craft
but lost nothing of his fiery spirit in so doing. It is a big
achievement.'
