Reviews
... an unusual collection of poems, free of self-pity and accusations – a straightforward description of a relationship which undoubtedly shoud never have occurred. ... The poet uniquely merges humour and agony, telling her story with such sincerity that it will long be remembered by the reader. All that remain are the deeply personal answers to our questions about love in abusive relationships.
