If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.

Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
Frank depictions of family, mental health, youth, ageing, love and lust speak to the fragility of life, and to the dangerous games we play when we cross boundaries. Hidden beneath the mundanity is violence and decay, mirroring the natural environment so lyrically recreated in Prendergast's raw prose...pollen that stains the local estuary water an unsettling red-Bloodrust.
'A rare voice, honest and unsparing in its savage poetry. Admirably complex and unsentimental in its portrait of a woman's desire.' - Amanda Lohrey
'Here is writing that is fraught and vulnerable, raw and openhearted; here are stories that are full of soul sass wit and bite; stories that land, stick around, and linger longer in the memory.' - Irish author, Alan McMonagle
