Reviews

This beautifully written memoir goes surprisingly deep because it is so exceptionally honest....' - Vishvapani Blomfield, Buddhist contributor to BBC's Thought for the Day; '...absolutely wonderful - there were times when I laughed out loud, it's utterly delightful, very funny, touching, full of gorgeous details and wonderful characters.' - Mimi Khalvati, poet and founder of The Poetry School; '...both profound and moving as well as hilariously funny in places.... I recommend it wholeheartedly.' - Vidyamala Burch, OBE
