Recenzii

One of the strangest, most enchanting and mystifying stories I've read in recent years. . .It'sbeautiful, bonkers and brimming with the abundance and richness of natureand a life lived with no boundaries. Also Jackie's intro and illustrations provide a depth and context that only lifts the book and its story higher.
. . .Extraordinary.Deeply weird, beautiful & unsettling.
The House without Windowsismiraculous-a fearless odyssey into a dreamtime of wildness and enchantment. Gloriously illuminatedby Jackie Morris's moving art, this is a work of strange power for our own bewildered times.
Astonishingly lyrical
