  • Catherine Robertson, Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan, Radio NZ (starts approx. 6 mins in)

  • “A brave, conflicted, complicated young girl, Miracle’s believable and really real.”

    Karen Chisholm, AustCrimeFiction

  • "The resulting novel is great fun – a fabulous combination of believable small-town intrigue a twisty-turny plot."

All Our Secrets

“The novel’s real achievement, I think, is in the loving depiction of family life in this place and at this time: rissoles with tomato sauce; toddlers with snotty noses; Mum taking time for herself with a glass of cask wine and the New Idea crossword; chain-smoking; dry-grassed front lawns; town gossip; kids’ talk at school; sibling relationships. Coongahoola and Gracie’s family home are rich, warm, alive places in Lane’s rendering.”
