Trade Review

‘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
