Reviews

'The Kennaway Papers is a courageous and a healing book ... It is a reminder of the high talent that was snuffed out by James Kennaway's premature death ... and - almost as an undeclared bonus - it introduces Susan Kennaway as a highly gifted writer on her account. This remarkable book is an unsparing account of old loves and infidelities' Sunday Times 'Susan Kennaway writes with a beautiful lucidity and balance, and a rare candour too' London Review of Books 'The Kennaway Papers is a remarkably honest yet bleakly anguished book ... For these glimpses and the blazing intensity of Kennaway's work, Susan Kennaway has done herself and the memory of her first husband proud' Scotsman
