Sigrid Rausing explores sweeping questions about what it means to choose or refuse a moral life; what tragedy looks like when it is woven into privilege; and how we control or surrender to our perceived destinies

A remarkable work. I am full of admiration for Rausing's courage and for the force and beauty of her writing. The writing at once expresses and embodies the pain of her experience - she found a way to do the seemingly impossible

Janet Malcolm

Riveting, clear-sighted and exceptionally articulate. Rausing's literary and psychoanalytic fluency give the book an impact that feels arrestingly honest . . . Her intelligence translates despair into precision
