Dancing with Strangers: Text Classics

‘I cannot imagine that a more vivid or beguiling account of the origins of British Australia will ever be written…an extraordinary achievement.’ – Robert Manne * Age *
‘Wonderfully brave and stylishly written…Sometimes provocative, but startling in the way it entertainingly refreshes our history.’ * Courier Mail *
‘Because we know the outcome, the story has a deep poignancy. But Clendinnen does not just plod through the familiar sad story of oppression. Hers is a lyrical account that draws us into its passionate heart.’ * New Zealand Herald *
‘A masterful book, elegantly conceived and written with narrative brilliance. Clendinnen is witty, incisively poetic.’ – Anne McGrath * Age *
‘Enthralling, and masterful in its prose…Clendinnen’s characters come vividly to life in her poetically written and compelling story.’ * Toowoomba Chronicle *

Inga Clendinnen is an acclaimed scholar of Mayan and Aztec cultures. Her book Reading the Holocaust won the NSW Premier’s History Award and was chosen as one of the best books of 1999 by the New York Times.
