I’m glad reviews don’t come out all at once. The new issue of the Australian Journal of Biography and History has the most generous and engaged review by Dr Christina Spittel of my book, The Red Witch. Dr Spittel saw in my book so many things I was hoping readers would see. And her review shows such attention to the biographical process, its methods and ethics – a rare and wonderful thing! I’m so happy and grateful. You can read the review here. This new issue of AJBH is so full of interesting articles on biography and reviews of recent releases – the full open-access contents is here.

Congratulations, Nathan, it is a generous review. I thought Spittel was wise to use the section headers as a summary of the book.
The Red Witch flies again!
Cheers

What a pleasure it was to read this review, and she’s absolutely right about it being a book for a general reader and reviewing as such.
And I loved the bit about @KSP1883!
