Reviews

“Who knew a tiny star-shaped seed from a near-extinct tree could spark so enchanting, suspenseful, and intensely spiritual a tale as Jacqui L’Ange’s debut novel, The Seed Thief?”

Andrea Van Wyk

“Beautifully crafted and poetically detailed… wide-ranging, sensuous and unusual, this is a dense novel with a slippery, clever plot.”

Karin Schimke

“A poetry-infused whirlwind of Southern Hemisphere mysticism and botanical espionage. An understated triumph.”
