Reviews / Votes
Sparely written...this could well be Almond's best work yet. * The Independent * He has the rare gift of being tender towards experience without either sentimentalising or indulging it; he knows that raw material must be worked on before it becomes art and he knows how to do it. * The Guardian * A moving, perceptive collection that drifts back and forth over the shadowy border between fiction and autobiography, conjuring with brilliant clarity the elusive joys, sorrows and shames of childhood. * The Times * Challenging and stunning. * The Bookseller * It's a book to read and read again and, as the years pass, each new reading will reveal more truths * Lovereading4kids *More details
