<p>'She is by turns facetious, matter-of-fact, visionary and comical but always totally riveting.' Daily Telegraph</p>
<p>'Simply astonishing – clear and true.' Guardian</p>
<p>'An extraordinary story, sometimes comic, often grim, but most importantly it is a story of survival.' Spectator</p>
<p>'A masterpiece of wit…[the] past, so thoroughly vanished, is made to live again here.' Rachel Cusk</p>
<p>‘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</p>
<p>‘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</p>
<p>‘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</p>
