Recensione:
"A lot of novels are called “brave”, and they aren’t. This one is." (Lionel Shriver)
"A brilliantly intense, thought-provoking story" (Stylist)
"Gripping, well-researched and elegantly written" (Rosamund Urwin Evening Standard, Books of the Year)
"This courageous and interesting author is that unusual thing, a contemporary moralist" (Rachel Cusk Guardian)
"Bold, brave, and uncomfortable... it's a gripping read" (Observer)
"The subject matter is brave, the moral perspective complex, the writing vivid" (Lionel Shriver Mail on Sunday)
"Weston has an unwavering passion for the truth as well as the courage to tell it." (Ian Thomson Sunday Telegraph (Seven))
"Weston excels at writing about medicine precisely...but with great subtlety of tone that allows readers to appreciate the human faultlines that lie beneath conventional portraits of doctoring." (Vivienne Parry The Times)
"Weston is a superb writer of lucid and evocative prose... This is not a dark book so much as a deeply thoughtful one" (Independent)
