Recensioner i media

"Beautifully written, carefully balanced, Mary Lawson constructs a history of sacrifice, emotional isolation and family love without sounding a false note" Daily Mail "Full of blossoming insights and emotional acuity...a compelling and serious page-turner" Observer "Lawson's evocative storytelling...knows just how to draw the reader on...this is a novel of disappointed hopes and self-delusion, but it has a feel-good finish. Move over Lake Wobegon" Spectator "A novel of a darkly unpredictable and compelling kind. It is a wise book" -- Lavinia Greenlaw Financial Times
