Reception
A review in the Australian Book Review called it "an oxymoronic book — a subdued novel", and further "Its accent is meditative, its notes of sadness leavened by the resilient self-regard of the characters he [Keneally] has mustered.". An Angel in Australia has also been reviewed by The Sydney Morning Herald, and The New York Times. Awards and nominations
