Recensione:
'This book shows her prodigious talent already in full bloom. Keegan may have died before her time, but she was a writer who demonstrated a gift beyond her years' Observer
'It's moving to watch this young woman speaking about everything being 'so beautiful and short' knowing what happened to her afterwards... Her voice is so fresh, her enthusiasm so appealing, her ambition so great that you cannot help but wonder what she might have achieved' Financial Times
'An extraordinary figure, a young person of enormous potential, who had already achieved a great deal...Throughout the 18 pieces in the collection, [that] pathos is delivered with a striking emotional intensity, in sharp and witty prose' New Statesman
We'll never know what else the talented author of these wise, funny essays and stories would have gone on to write... she's open and self-aware... this book shows that she was wrong [in thinking she would never do anything]'
'The promise it shows is just heart-breaking'
