The Better Woman Reviews
‘This novel is a wonderful, full-bodied
read. Ber
Carroll has a clever eye for characterisation and story.'
CATHY KELLY
‘The Better Woman is a wonderful, rich,
rollicking ride through the lives of two fascinating
women. The Irish and Australian characters and locations
are fabulous. This is a book that will keep you up late
at night . . .' DIANNE BLACKLOCK
'An entertaining read
about work, women, their lovers and families and how the
personal can sabotage even the most fabulous career'
AUSTRALIAN WOMEN"S WEEKLY
‘Maeve Binchy eat your heart out . . . a
new kid in town is stealing our hearts. With all the
humour and empathy of Binchy and a talent for
storytelling, Carroll captures the conflicts and
compromises women make on their way to the top
. . . Carroll, an adopted
Australian, has produced a compelling novel.
DAILY TELEGRAPH
High Potential Reviews
‘this novel is about several…interesting
things, including the nature of ambition in the
workplace, the social history of Ireland and the
miseries it could cause for women, and the connections
between Ireland and Australia…the plots and sub-plots
are handled well and gallop along’ SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
‘There’s a lot happening here, but
Carroll avoids confusion and melodrama. Compelling.'
WEEKEND GOLD COAST BULLETIN
‘Ber Carroll came from Ireland to
Australia 13 years ago and brought with her a distinct
talent for writing modern-day romances about savvy girls
who live between Ireland and Australia. Along with the
Irish flavour, Carroll uses her finance background to
give her books a real edge. ’ THE AGE
‘I enjoyed this book and managed to read
it in just two sittings. It is a very decent example of
Aussie chick-lit. The ingredients were all spot on –
believable plot, an engaging pace, and a very likeable
but ever so slightly flawed lead character.’ AUSTRALIAN
BOOKSELLER & PUBLISHER
‘If you enjoy reading Marian Keyes or
Monica McInerney then you will really enjoy HIGH
POTENTIAL…an engrossing and rewarding read’ MANLY DAILY
