Fierce, lyrical, and lucid memoir
Siri Hustvedt
A profoundly articulate and harrowing memoir of a family grappling with addiction... I was impressed and moved
A. M. Homes
A short, intense and moving memoir... a poignant and at times harrowing account that testifies to the resilience of the human spirit
Tatler
Powerful and spare... her elisions and prevarications have a striking effect
The Observer
Such a unique and haunting story to tell
The Sunday Times
What gives this book its astonishing power is not the guilt, but the intelligence and literary skill. Beautifully structured... Rausing sets the scene with painterly delicacy and then steps back to analyse the implications of what she has revealed
The Guardian
A deeply felt memorial to a lost brother...a finely written memoir
Literary Review
Riveting, clear-sighted and exceptionally articulate...heartbreaking...her literary and psychoanalytic fluency gives the book an impact that feels arrestingly honest
Daily Telegraph
Touched by its bravery, sincerity and the frequent beauty of the writing
The Times
