Reviews

'A glowing and beautiful memoir...and astonishingly vivid world, richly recalled' Mail on Sunday 'A supremely beautiful book that spins its particular story to tell a universal one' Sunday Times 'A generous, mythic, deeply pagan book...with salt water in its veins.' Guardian 'The insight into suffering is both moving and illuminating...Quirky and colourful...moving and very human.' Sunday Times 'The tone is baroque, deeply allusive, emotionally raw, sensual and brutally, bravely honest.' Sunday Herald 'Writing that sings with tremendous descriptive richness.' The Scotsman
