Recenzii
‘Each character is brilliantly drawn, and the book delivers surprise after surprise’
‘Absolutely brilliant; an emotionally devastating story, brave and honest’
‘Compelling, beautifully written, so perceptive and emotionally devastating. Like Anatomy of a Scandal, it feels like an important book as well as a brilliant read’
