Dove

Georgia Harper expertly balances the intimacy of small-town life with an expansive exploration of how women and girls navigate their safety in this world. The central premise alone makes this novel a standout; when combined with Harper's gorgeous writing and an unfolding plot rich in both menace and sensuality, Dove shows just how impactful the best psychological thrillers can be. I finished it with a lump in my throat.

Georgia Harper takes a big swing and hits it out of the park. Dove is character-driven crime that asks deep philosophical questions but refuses to offer simple answers. Ambitious, wry and deftly drawn - I loved it.

Thought-provoking, nuanced and utterly original, Dove is a gripping exploration of power and gender set against the backdrop of 1990s small town Queensland. Georgia Harper’s charismatic, unconventional heroine will stay with me for a long time.

Exploring gender, power and social unease as it builds to a dramatic resolution.

Hannah Cartmel, Books + Publishing

With her new book Dove as lyrical and evocative as her debut, Georgia Harper continues to dazzle and enthrall. The way Harper slowly reveals information is masterful. Realistically, not a lot happens for the majority of this book, but the way the story is written makes it just as gripping as a thriller. It will keep you reading late into the night.

Dove tackles a feminist flashpoint ... This slow burn of a novel does work in a late, thriller-like plot point but finds most of its fuel in the dissection of destructive forms of masculinity, the culture of silence that develops around them, and what breaking it unleashes.

Cameron Woodhead, The Sydney Morning Herald

Thought-provoking, finely observed, intelligent and brave with characters that fly off the page straight into your heart and mind. Full of brooding tension and sensuality, i devoured this in a day over a couple of sittings.
