The Visitors may be Mascull’s first novel, but she writes with the fluency and dexterity of a born writer, deftly

crafting an engrossing story that imbues her characters with tangible sensitivity, warmth and humanity. - Sydney Morning Herald

The story of Liza’s discovery of words, the thrill of her and Lottie’s first signed conversation, is movingly told - Jennifer Byrne for Australian Women’s Weekly

…nothing outshines this author’s masterful portrayal of a child who lives with and overcomes multiple disabilities. - Good Reading, National
