A Review in The Weekend Australian 30 July
“Corbett’s prose has the clarity, luminosity and beauty of a well-cut diamond, especially when she describes dreamlike aerial visions. When We Have Wings is a confident and challenging debut; this flight of fancy deserves to soar. “- Thuy On
A great review at The Fringe Magazine
I like the focus on the writing in this review: “When We Have Wings by Claire Corbett is a beautiful story, written with such poetic rhythm and elegance that is was almost like reading a sonnet or poem. The story was very original and the plot was intriguing and quite remarkable….
