Reviews
Lucid and restrained. The writing is packed with meaning. Listen hard. Every word matters. * Sunday Times *
It is like a shard of glass plunged straight into the heart. * The Guardian *
A brooding and eventually bruising emotional weight... a ferocity of feeling. * The Stage *
A work of considerable intelligence...hauntingly vivid. * The Times *
