"Compelling and sensitively nuanced, 'Dark Jelly' is edgy, meaty and substantial, and very dark indeed."
"Alice Tawhai's third short story collection is one to pack in the beach bag. Her perceptions of subcultures, assemblage of characters, downright quirkiness and deft style make her a significant contemporary voice in Māori writing."
