'Momentous ... heart-shattering to read. Harrison imbues her new storytelling formula with surprising lightness ... candid and delicate.'
Sydney Morning Herald

'A remarkable achievement of First Nations storytelling. We live in a time when truths need to be told and heard - this is a generous offering, a story that challenges and ultimately rewards us'
Tony Birch, author of The White Girl

'A work of soaring imagination and breathtaking ambition. Jane Harrison upends all our black-and-white assumptions about what happened on that fateful January day in 1788 when eleven tall ships sailed into a safe blue harbour that people already called home. Surprisingly funny, cheeky and tragic by turns, this remarkable novel is bold, brave and unforgettable'
Clare Wright, author of You Daughters of Freedom

'Witty, tense, and gut-wrenching ... [it] pulled me inexorably towards a place of profound emotion'
Grace Chan, author of Every Version of You

'Intimate, tense, but inviting ... the end of the book is devastating, and even though we know what's coming, we're hopeful for a different ending. The Visitors offers a deep emotional journey. Harrison has written a thoughtful and powerful reimagining of a significant moment in Australian history, from a First Nations perspective.'
