“Anamaria Beligan is a wonder, among Australian writers. Utterly distinctive, full of invention and flair and sheer difference.”

Les Murray

“...one of the most gifted story-tellers in Romanian literature”

Adriana Babeti

“If Anamaria Beligan were in Scheherazade’s place, she would captivate Shahryar through her way of telling stories more so than through the substance of her stories. Enchanted (like a literary critic!) by her display of narrative formulas, the sultan would forever keep postponing the storyteller’s execution.”
