“Nadine is one of Aotearoa’s most beautiful writers. She is a national treasure and her essays are full of heart. She writes bravely and powerfully about life in a way that breaks your heart then heals it.”

“Nadine is a brilliant and different voice (check out her essays in The Spinoff too) with the gift of being able to deftly weave personal, political and environmental threads together in an engaging and poetic way. Her writing is fresh, honest and will make you think. ”

“Today I was having a discussion about truth. Nadine writes about truth, about life, without a sugar coating. Story telling and integrity delivered by a wordsmith are worthy of a relaxed read. There are so many choices chasing our attention. This is one that is worthy of being chosen.”
