'This is an evocative and poignant exploration of memory and a fitting tribute to a cherished family member.’
Books+Publishing
'The Three Burials of Lotty Kneen is a generous, full-hearted, poetic attempt to understand the way we carry our ancestors within us, and how we might better know ourselves through knowing them.'
Guardian
'An extraordinary tale…A paean to the enduring power of Lotty Kneen…who passed on the gift of storytelling to her granddaughter.'
Australian Book Review
'Compelling and beautifully written. A road map filled with many women's voices, recipes and memories.'
Chris Gordon, Readings
'This story soars far and wide between remote Australia, mid-century Egypt, and modern-day Slovenia; it is a generous and joyfully spirited adventure which embraces embellishment, fantasy, and uncertainty. While pulling at threads of genetic history, Kneen accepts this can only ever be incomplete.’
