Reception

[edit]

A review in the Australian Book Review called it "an oxymoronic book — a subdued novel",[5] and further "Its accent is meditative, its notes of sadness leavened by the resilient self-regard of the characters he [Keneally] has mustered.".[5]

An Angel in Australia has also been reviewed by The Sydney Morning Herald,[6] and The New York Times.[7]
