Publisher Review

Powerful . . . compassionate, wise and fierce * The Bookseller * An extraordinary book, tenderly told. There is so much loss, beauty, hope and care in its pages. I read it all at once, but it will stay with me for a very long time to come * Katya Balen * A nuanced, compelling and ultimately hopeful story of flawed relationships, family grief and the power of art, all with characters I could swear I’ve met in real life! * Patrice Lawrence * Terrific * Sarah Crossan * Wise, gripping and skilfully told . . . It gives permission to rage when fury is warranted * Sunday Times’ Book of the Week, praise for Furious Thing * Piercingly well-observed . . . a masterpiece of shame and desire * Financial Times, praise for Furious Thing * A painfully enthralling, fiercely feminist account of emotional abuse and appropriate rage * Guardian, praise for Furious Thing *
