Recensioner i media

'I was deeply moved by this book which is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking – a raw and wrenching portrait of lives shattered and rebuilt in the wake of grief. It also reads like a love letter to her husband Matt, whose sudden death in a tragic surfing accident tore a hole in their family too deep to fathom. In emotional freefall, halfway across the world from family and dealing with police, the press, a funeral and two young children, I could almost physically feel the weight of her collapse. She shares with touching honesty the hours, then days and finally years of rebuilding, of what it took her to emerge from within. She has a warm, tender and often witty voice, offering glimpses of their too-brief life together and recounting their love affair with Australia, whose golden shores and pink sky formed the backdrop for their growing love. Perfect for fans of Cathy Rentzenbrink and Joan Didion' Juliette Bottomley, Mr B's Emporium
