Reviews
Reviewing the Miles Franklin Award shortlist, The Age reviewer noted: "The Submerged Cathedral is a tender and sustained tribute to romantic passion; the kind of enduring love that survives all manifestations of malevolent fate...This is no saccharine boy-meetgirl soapie, but an intensely evocative tale framed by the Australian landscape and suffused with religious pathos."[2]
