What people are saying...

‘Stretching the creative potential of this novel to its glorious limits…this punchy novel hits the ground running, then barrels forward with an urgent momentum that never lets up. Cameron’s efficient present tense prose delivers a unique blend of fast-paced action and crystalline observation, with each sentence a perfectly crafted and frequently startling image.’ The Weekend Australian. (Cheryl Akle) 

‘I absolutely devoured this compelling environmental thriller…I loved the dialogue and the quirky humour…There are moments of hilarity, ridiculousness and fun amidst the seriousness of the overall situation, and these light-hearted sections allow the reader space…A well-written book that asks some big questions about humans, the world we live in, how we are to survive it, and whether we will even survive our own actions.’ Cass Moriarty

‘In The Rewilding, Cameron delivers an electrifying and thought-provoking novel that beautifully balances adventure with a call to environmental action. It’s a passionate, urgent reminder of the stakes at play in our fight against climate change, wrapped in a story that’s impossible to put down. For those looking for a novel that thrills and inspires…with an appetite for great contemporary story telling, The Rewilding is an essential read.’  Central Coast News. (David Abrahams)

‘Donna M Cameron’s second novel is important, topical, and thought provoking, but definitely not without humour. 5 stars.’ Cloggiedownunder. (Top Australian Good Reads reviewer/blogger)

‘At one level, this novel is an exciting adventure story that takes place in present day Australia…Very satisfying stuff. At another level, Donna M Cameron has taken this novel further…this contribution to the climate debate, however palatably delivered in novel form, is a welcome addition to the voices clamouring for reform.’ Erich Mayer. Arts Hub

‘A gorgeous, poetic novel…I enjoyed the language of this novel more than anything – some of the phrases were so elegant I really lingered over them, and as someone who often skips over paragraphs in favour of getting to the action, this was no small deal for me. I just really loved the feeling these words invoked. Highly recommend.’ Feathers of Icarus. (Blogger/GR reviewer) 

‘You need to strap yourself in for one of the most  unusual road trips in contemporary Australian writing. Dramatic plot twists are in store…yet Cameron’s work is anything but one-dimensional…A genre-bending chase thriller with a conscience gives us thrills and a bit of hope in the face of pending ecological disaster.’ In Review. Ken Haley

‘Cameron skilfully creates an exciting story which keeps the reader on edge while also quietly suggesting the beauty and fragility of nature, our place in it, and our need to remain aware of that.’ Newtown Review of Books. Ann Skea

‘The Rewilding is a novel which succeeds on more than one level – it is a beautifully rendered love story but one coupled with an exciting and tense thriller with a nail-biting car chase.  Overall, it is a novel to be savoured – well recommended.’ Queensland Reviewers Collective (Rod Mclary)

‘It is equal parts thrilling and insightful, provoking thought in the reader …Filled with hope and humour, it tackles the climate crisis with nuance…A great novel from a local author.’ The Book Muse 

‘The rewilding is an unusual mix of genres: thriller, climate treatise, myth, quest, hate-to-love romance; but it absolutely works, and the action holds the reader’s interest until the end… Highly recommended.’ ReadPlus. Helen Eddy

‘A terrifically appealing and memorable novel about how we might navigate political action and love during the climate emergency. Also: a brilliantly sweet and moving drug scene. Wonderful.’ Nigel Featherstone

The story is beautifully written and descriptive yet fast paced…There’s plenty of tension and excitement throughout along with black humour…This is a must read!! So topical, set in Australia and executed in such a clever way.‘ Ms G’s Bookshelf
