10.01.2022 REVIEW: "Tikka is an unforgettable, if not entirely reliable narrator full of black humour, brutal honesty and naive curiosity. This novel is one that will haunt readers long after they have turned the last page," Bookseller + Publisher

08.01.2022 COWRA VISIT: Cowra guests had a lively discussion with author of The Van Apfel Girls are Gone Felicity McLean where they spoke about the merits of the main characters, the eerie setting, life in the 1990s and voted on each possible scenario for the missing girls.

07.01.2022 ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "McLean is an experienced ghostwriter, having most recently co-written a biography with Leisel Jones, but this is her first novel. It's a revelation. She writes economically, including the right amount of detail to create a sense of the suburbs in the 80s, but not so much to be twee. There is a whiff of The Virgin Suicides here, as McLean investigates the space between girlhood and womanhood, but in an unmistakably Australian setting. The result is a book that achieves a delicate balance between the mundane and the mysterious - and the debut of a striking new voice in Australian fiction," Adelaide Advertiser.

04.01.2022 REVIEW: Sharp, mysteriously moving and highly entertaining," Robert Drewe.
