Brilliant!

I read from start to finish in three sittings. It’s not often you get a chance to read something that draws you in quite like this did . . . and when it ended I felt almost bereft.

Yesterday I finished reading your book and I wanted to tell you what an amazing experience it has been . . . It is such a beautifully written, moving and honest account and so impressive in the way you have linked the intensely personal with such a breadth of historical and social background . . . It made me both laugh and cry in equal measure.

An exceptional piece of writing . . .

Nick S, fiction editor

 

I had to contact you immediately I finished your book. I read it straight through in three sittings. I really enjoyed it.

Huw W, GP

 

I love your book. I read half of it in one go, the rest in another . . . it is, as they say, a page turner. I found it funny and poignant all at the same time . . . and it’s astonishing to me that you are able to penetrate as much of the seemingly impenetrable as you did here. I doubt if I could even get close with my own dad, but you’ve given a sense that perhaps I could try. Thank you so much for sharing it with me . . . It’s wonderful.

Richard K, retired research scientist

 

I absolutely love the book. It’s beautifully written and I found the political stories fascinating and funny.

Deborah M, political strategist
