MEDIA REVIEWS
'Punches you in the guts with beauty,pain and brevity,and pulls you along with the compulsion of a thriller. Lean,exquisite prose that shoots a dart to the heart. It's about what it means to be a mother,a daughter,a woman,trying to grapple with her sanity,as she unravels and makes sense of her present by reaching back into her past. I adored it.'Abi Morgan
