Recensioner i media

“Lucid and beautifully observed, this story of a vulnerable person navigating the world brims with pinpoint detail and creeping threat. A brilliant and assured debut.” Simon Wroe, Chop, Chop and Ghost Month"Gloria Don't Speak is unflinching and full of heart; a moving story, told with uncommon tenderness, that offers a window to a life rarely found in literature." Tom Newlands, Only Here, Only Now
