Reviews

'A memoir of great honesty and clarity, intimacy and subtlety . . . It asks profound questions about how to live through the storms of life with authenticity.' Gavin Francis, author of Adventures in Human Being

'A courageous, compassionate, uncanny chronicle of life and loss on the fringes. Striking in its candour, brilliant in its breadth, often very funny.' Dan Richards, author of Outpost
