Reviews

'Read Song of the Selkies as a guide to the Orkneys, a first class mystery story, a post-modern comment on lesbian feminism or just read it for fun. It is a visionary book and Cathie Dunsford is a writer whose visions begin with today.' 

–Carolyn Firth Gammon

'Dunsford’s books are rich in cultural myths, she weaves reality and dreaming into wonderful stories.' 

–Jude Dennis, Lesbiana

'This is a story about stories. … If you love folklore and are interested in the rebuilding of indigenous cultures after colonisation then you will love this book.' 

–Evelyn Hartogh, Queensland Pride

'This an enthralling and easy-to-read mystery, unfolding nicely as relationships are made, and truths come out.' 

–Annie Lindsay, The Press
