What readers say

An absolutely delightful read from beginning to end. Funny, moving, insightful – and your authorial voice instantly appealed to me.

I absolutely enjoyed your book and couldn’t put it down. I had so many laughs along the way.

Brian Nicholls creates an array of memorable characters. A lack of sentimentality is a strength of both McCourt’s (Angela’s Ashes) and Nicholls' memoir, but the national humour and idioms of A Saucepan in the Sky stand out as unmistakably Australian.

I reluctantly read the last page and immediately wished for more.

Some of the book was comfortably close to home for me: some uncomfortably so.

Wanderlust talks about things that people think but do not say.

Philosophical but not academic. A good read. A tribute to women.

Your book is an affirmation of something or other that is probably too big to put a label on.

Details the mapping of a moral universe…a wry, humorous approach to living. ‘Uncle’ Stan is my all-time favourite character – a man with a unique worldview. I thoroughly recommend it.

I liked the surprise of it, the feeling that anything could happen. There is a time in life when one enters any open door. I guess that’s how you grow up.

I laughed the whole afternoon as I read it. How delightful in this grim world to find such humour.
