Review:

`Touching and funny, Alison Gangel's memoir is an exceptionally honest and brave piece of writing. Her detailed observation and keen ear for dialogue bring the child's perspective vividly to life' * Anne Donovan * 'Riveting! Kept me reading until 2 a.m. over four nights. A vivid 'in your face' memoir. The depiction of staff and residents in the children's home is worthy of Dickens. An excellent debut.' * Robert Douglas *
