Critics Review

The Shadow Year shows [Richell] developing the storytelling skills that made her first book stand out from the crowd of commercial women’s fiction. - Sydney Morning Herald

Set against the ebb and flow of the ever-present sea this complex family drama [Secrets of the Tides] is a page-turner of a debut novel. - Australian Women’s Weekly

Assuredly written and impeccably structured, [Secrets of the Tides] excavates the emotional layers of family drama when something goes terribly wrong… - Sydney Morning Herald

This cracking debut novel [Secrets of the Tides] will have you turning the pages so fast you’ll get a paper cut. - Sun-Herald

A tale of secrets, lies, betrayal and infidelity [Secrets of the Tides]. It’s also about a loss that strikes at the heart of a family; one that time will mellow but never completely heal. Heartbreakingly good. - Herald Sun
