'Morgan's writing is graceful and The Pelagius Book is warm and effectively understated.'
Angie Schaivone, Sydney Morning Herald

'Beautifully written . . . The Pelagius Book is going to be a classic.'
Cath Kenneally, Radio Adelaide

'A beguiling book.'
Margaret Throsby, ABC Classic FM

'This beautifully written tale is a fascinating window into a world that is, in many ways, strangely familiar.'
José Borghino, Marie Clair

'Could easily invite comparison with Simon Leys' The Death of Napoleon and David Malouf's An Imaginary Life: it is a story of epic proportions told by a literary minimalist.'
Simon Caterson, The Australian

'Storytelling of simplicity and clarity, with a complex psychological and philosophical undertow.A convincing re-imagining of Pelagius and fifth-century Rome.’
Peter Goldsworthy

'This thought-provoking tale is simply told, yet as complex as a philosoper's treatise.
Highly recommended for reading groups.’
