Critics Review

‘Suellen Dainty deftly transforms her literary novel into a gripping mystery, social exposé and moral dilemma … With feminist themes and meticulous prose, An Invisible Tattoo will resonate with readers of Carol Lefevre, Mette Jakobsen and Vanessa McCausland.’ Joy Lawn, Books+Publishing‘Superb. Deep. Women-centric. … Beyond the beautifully told story of two women at vastly different stages of life, this is a tale of friendship, growth, betrayal, and love. I cried happy tears, and this is a book that will stay with me for a long time. I wholeheartedly recommend this.’ Poppy, NetGalley ‘A beautiful exploration of friendship, identity, independence and the long shadow of trauma, with a thoughtful nod to Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own. … A lovely story that will stay with you.’ Lisa, Better Reading ‘This is such a wonderful book. The way it’s written right down to the layout of chapters and prose is just stunning. It’s a book that will have you feeling many many things up and down!’ Kate, NetGalley ‘The mystery keeps you turning the pages, and the book cover perfectly complements the story’s tone. A thoroughly enjoyable read - I give it 5 stars!’ Sharron, Better Reading ‘A superbly told story about women and the relationships that shape them … compelling, emotional and explored important themes without shying away from difficult subjects.’ Kylie, Better Reading ‘Great characters, an intriguing story and a little bit of a surprise ending. … Sex, drugs, rock and roll but also friendship, love and hope.’ Victoria, Better Reading ‘Absolutely loved it.’ Andrea, Goodreads
