The Melbourne Athenaeum Library edited the summary of Heartless Tuesday, February 23, 2010.

• At 7, she discovers that love isn't necessarily forever.
  At 21, she finds love but it escapes her.
  At 35, she learns that love can be dangerous.
  By 49, she realises that the greatest love of all comes from the heart.

  As her life's milestones come and go, you will recognise yourself in her: her loves, her mistakes, and her belief that she doesn't deserve more.

  Tasma Walton's debut novel is a moving and confronting fable about the power of the human heart, the worthiness of its desires and the often dire consequences of ignoring them.

The Melbourne Athenaeum Library edited the summary of Lovesong Tuesday, February 23, 2010.

• "Strangers did not, as a rule, find their way to Chez Dom, a small, rundown Tunisian cafe on Paris' distant fringes. Run by the widow Houria and her young niece, Sabiha, the cafe offers a home away from home for the North African immigrant workers working at the great abattoirs of Vaugiraud, who, like them, had grown used to the smell of blood in the air. But when one day a lost Australian tourist, John Patterner, seeks shelter in the cafe from a sudden Parisian rainstorm, the quiet simplicities of their lives are changed forever."--Provided by publisher.
