Rezensionen

'She is by turns facetious, matter-of-fact, visionary and comical but always totally riveting.' Daily Telegraph

'Simply astonishing - clear and true.' Guardian

'An extraordinary story, sometimes comic, often grim, but most importantly it is a story of survival.' Spectator

'A masterpiece of wit...[the] past, so thoroughly vanished, is made to live again here.' Rachel Cusk

'What a remarkable writer she is. She is piercingly, even laceratingly observant ... a very startling and daring memoir; the more I read it the more unsettling it becomes.' Helen Dunmore

'I was riveted. It's raw, it's distressing and it's full of piercing insights into a first-rate novelist's mind.' Margaret Forster

'A stunning evocation of an ill-fitting childhood and a womanhood blighted by medical ineptitude. Hilary Mantel's frank and beautiful memoir is impossible to put down and impossible to forget.' Clare Boylan
