"At once humorous and dramatic, Three Dollars is about Eddie, an honest, compassionate man who finds himself, at the age of 38, with a wife, a child and three dollars. How did he get that way? And who is Amanda? He cared about people; he was, Amanda notwithstanding, a good husband, father and son. At any other time the world would have smiled on him. But this was the nineties and the world valued other things. Three Dollars chronicles the present breach of the social contract and its effect on a home near you. It is a brilliantly deft portrait of a man attempting to retain his humanity, his family and his sense of humour in grim and pitiless times: times of downsizing, outsourcing and privatising. It is about the legacy of Thatcherism and its effects on people and their relationships."

"A trente-huit ans, un beau matin, Eddie se retrouve sur un quai de gare avec trois dollars en poche et rien d'autre. Entre rire et larmes, ce roman est le portrait cruel d'un monde où le cours de la Bourse prend le pas sur celui de la vie humaine. C'est aussi un hymne à l'amour."
"Een jonge Australiër blikt terug op zijn jeugd tijdens de Vietnam-oorlog, in een maatschappij die hem vooral kil en bizar toeschijnt."
"Three Dollars is a remarkable, passionate and angry novel about what happens to people in a world of downsizing, outsourcing and privatising."@en
