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
