Media Reviews
A memoir of real truth and heartbreaking emotional heft * Sunday Times *
This captivating book, both heart-rending and jaw-dropping, unfolds like a detective story * Daily Mail *
A touching, painful disquisition on memory and forgetting and the tendrils that tie us to the past -- Caroline Moorehead * Guardian *
Clear-eyed, very sad, funny at times and, despite the story it tells, ultimately uplifting in its determination to confront buried truths. * Sebastian Faulks *
A devastating forage into memory and the brutality of the stiff upper lip -- Evie Wyld * Observer *
