"Dimitriadis’s stories are direct and moving, and her writing is sparse and dynamic. There’s real kick to her storytelling. Her short stories are nuanced and compelling" Christos Tsiolkas.
"Koraly Dimitriadis' new short story collection vividly captures Australia's diverse and multifaceted heart. These stories bridge cultures, shed light on overlooked lives, and offer an authentic glimpse into the real Australia beyond mainstream representations." Amra Pajalic.
"A fierce, primal voice dredged from the depths of human suffering and emotion that continues to echo inside your head in the best way long after the last page. Koraly reminds us what it means to live, exploring complex dynamics through her unique social lens. A hugely important contribution to the Australian literary scene." Peter Papathanasiou
