undercurrents (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781761095658)

'Absorbing, empathetic and cerebral all at once. Using ordinary language and often extraordinary turns of phrase, Williams manages to peel back the complex layers of our everyday lives with remarkable grace and clarity.' - Judy Johnson

'Jane Williams has the rare ability to make our ordinary days feel not just vividly real, but also cared for, and precious. In scenes from her own life and the sympathetically observed lives of others, there is a lovely coexistence of pragmatism and a belief in the need for comfort. From falling in love "in slow motion" with a blue tongue lizard to seeing in the mirror the face of her mother's daughter greeting her kindly - "ne more fold in the soul's origami", undercurrents is constantly surprising, enriching and memorable.' - Jean Kent
