"Walk is a riveting insight into one of South Africa’s most notorious seafaring disasters, and a fascinating look into the things we'll do when desperately trying to find a way home."
The Oprah Magazine
"...things just happen, one after the other like feet walking, and the sand and salt scour away symbolism and significance until what's left is a brutal poetry of indifference, another verse of a violent song of a violent land, neither consoling nor too pessimistic. Whyle's writing... generates hard beauty."
Darrel Bristow-Bovey, TimesLive
"...the terse economy of the prose propels you into its relentless rhythm from the start... This is a remarkable piece of writing."
Jenny de Klerk, Saturday Star.
"A little gem of a book... from a significant writer with an instantly recognisable voice. Please read it."
Jenny Crwys Williams
"Five stars because I simply couldn't put it down."
Ray Hartley, GoodReads.
"This small gem deserves a place on the bookshelves of serious readers; a cherished fragment, unpretentious and incomplete, it creates an enduring set of images..."
Jane Rosenthal, Mail & Guardian.
"...transforms written history into literature... They become not just names, but characters. In short, Walk is an impeccably crafted literary masterpiece."
