Reviews

‘Robertson evokes disparate characters, their yearning hearts always on the cusp of something they can’t quite name. Mapping a terrain of loneliness, compromise, ageing and tension, these short sharp pieces set across wide-ranging locales create pockets of surprise and solace in unexpected places.’

Cate Kennedy

‘Robertson easily takes her place among these literary heavy hitters ... [If You're Happy] showcases the dexterity of its writer within a form that can contain as many genres and styles as any literary canon.’
