  A woman
of substance as well as girth, this big-hearted earth mother knocks us
off our pins in Rosie Scott's Glory Days-all this in an introspective voice that's rich in poetry and raw with anguish. MARILYN STASIO NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF BOOKS Her work is
sensuously alive like that of
few other writers- I can think only of
Colette and Edna O'Brien. MARILYN FRENCH Dazzling sordid first novel..whose poetic grittiness makes these tales of Auckland's fringe people a stand-out. This unconventional heroine is unforgettable. The characterisations, the sheer energy and driving imagination make this a potent read. KIRKUS REVIEWS, NEW YORK Scott
continues to reveal her great gifts as a
passionate, intelligent
and articulate
creator of the mumblings of the human heart. JOHN HANRAHAN, THE MELBOURNE AGE. Rosie Scott is a born writer. She
has
fluency, honesty, cheek and charm Rosie
Scott's best writing is breathtaking.
Here is an author who entices her
Her work is
engulfingly, satiatingly
sensuous. She uses language that is rich,
elegant and poetic, above all there is an honesty about her work that is utterly compelling. JO LITSON, MORE MAGAZINE
In these
times more than ever we need
writers clear-sighted enough to see
through the lies and brave enough to speak out against them. Rosie Scott is such a writer. We need writers like Scott with her buoyant spirit and faith in humanity, with her clarity and verve. PENELOPE HANLEY, CANBERRA TIMES
A
singing
literary talent. She never compromises her commitment to the integrity,
clarity of vision and
moral seriousness that are the hallmarks of great fiction. KATHERINE ENGLAND, ADELAIDE ADVERTISER
Scott weaves a pattern of events and relationships that are charged with ecstasy, hope, paranoia fear, "the mud and slime of it all." In the process she not only stirs the imagination vigorously, she also touches the heart. MICHAEL KING, METRO MAGAZINE Rosie Scott is one of the finest writers working in this country (though like Jane Campion she's a New Zealander.) She's wise, witty, sharply observant, truthful and empathetic. SUSAN GEASON, THE SYDNEY SUN HERALD
