'Hannah Fink’s biography of Australian sculptor Bronwyn Oliver is delicately wrought, intricately mapped and haunting. Like a piece of detective fiction, you have to read it twice. First for the narrative web; then to absorb the aftershock of all the subtly ticking bombs planted within a seemingly sunlit ­landscape of a brief and accomplished life. On a third reading you will just gaze at Oliver’s works themselves: replete and self-contained, handmade riddles honed by a dedicated mind.' (Introduction)
