Review
"'As remarkable for its degree of thoughtfulness, and unflinchingly unsentimental self-exposure, as for its descriptive skills...such dreams as stuff is made of'" * Financial Times * "'A savagely self-searching tale...she is a born writer as well as a ruthlessly talented survivor'" * Observer * "'Fascinating'" * Daily Mail *
