The Sunday Star-Times wrote of By Bread Alone, 'Witty, charming, faithfully passionate to its subject and emotionally adept. If only this book was a man.' In The New Zealand Herald, Margie Thomson wrote of this novel, and Sarah-Kate's fiction in general: 'Her plots buzz along ... , her characters spring recognisably to life, she's extremely lively and funny ... especially when she's skewering the world of social flim-flam, but with a feel for language that results in some lovely imagery and, in this latest novel, genuine poignancy.' Next magazine found Finding Tom Connor a 'cross between Bridget Jones's Diary and Waking Ned Devine, this is a romantic and rollicking good read'. The Dominion Post concluded of The House of Peine, which is set in a chateau and vineyard in the Champagne region of France: 'Impeccably researched, it reads like a dream.' Sarah-Kate lives with her husband and her dog, but she's often not sure where - and she likes it that way. See more at www.sarah-katelynch.com. She is also on Twitter and Facebook.
