Antonia Hildebrand

To Breathe Antonia Hildebrand

'In this collection the reader discovers an inquisitive mind equally as concerned for world issues as for the dull conformity that can settle over small towns. Antonia's writing artfully moves from well researched topics to finely tuned observations of everyday life.' - Hilary Beaton

'Her insights have touched on a range of important issues and her insights are always engaging, revealing and pure in their honesty about life.' - Tara Vickers, producer, Radio National

'In my opinion Antonia Hildebrand stands out as one of the top dozen or so short story writers in contemporary Australia.' - Chas Eales, Radio 91.3 FM

'Sometimes Hildebrand moves beyond reality, but she does not so much create a fantasy, as show the familiar landscape through the distorting mirror of a fairground tent.' - Robin Hillard
