Media Reviews
'All the craft and graft of good writing are here . . . Be warned, the last few pages are unsentimental, lump-in-the-throat stuff, presaging the extended emotional hangover that is the aftermath of a terrific book.' * John Harding, Daily Mail *
'This sequence of novels is one of the best and most ambitious things written in the last 20 years, and REMEMBER ME... is utterly absorbing. Melvyn Bragg is worth a host of more fashionable writers. He never shows off, but tells us how it is.' * Allan Massie, Scotsman *
Daring and brave . . . With great skill and stunning insight, Bragg doesn't just tell a very tragic tale, he explores what it really means to love and be loved . . . eclipses anything Bragg has written before * Henry Sutton, Daily Mirror *
One can only applaud the seriousness, the humanity, the emotional honesty of the writing. Melvyn Bragg has added another forbidable chapter to one of the most distinguished literary series of recent times. * David Robinson, Sunday Telegraph *
