Four Starred Review on Amazon
"A striking and memorable work … Love Song will reward a second reading with pleasure in its vigour and love for life and language."
Australian Bookseller & Publisher
"A writer of great sensuality … a magnificent novel of exile."
Le Journal du Dimanche
From the author of The Bride Stripped Bare.
Love Song is the story of Lillie Bird, a woman from a locked religious community who one day finds herself in the freedom of a strange new world, England, accused of murdering a man. But it was there, in that land of cold, dark skies and scuffed and tumbling streets that she had first found the pleasure and the sadness, and the love she had, for years, so desperately sought. Love Song is at once a celebration of the human spirit and a powerful story of exile, identity and love.
Mesmerising and heartbreaking, this is Nikki Gemmell's finest work to date.
"As 22-year-old Lillie Bird reflects upon her unborn child, she writes the story of her exile to a small religious community and the events that led to her pregnancy. After a startling opening scene, listeners will want to know how the baby's father died and why Lillie is charged with his murder. Caroline Lee's reading is both realistic in its Australian accent and smooth enough to keep ears tuned in."
AudioFile Magazine
"Gemmell writes beautiful, chiming sentences and inhabits her outsider heroine with sensitivity."
