Beautifully illustrated in such a way to draw the younger reader in, with poetic words that engage their ears and spark off questions from the more enquiring individuals, this book is a should have for all libraries and one for the wish list for all homes. The images show a balanced range of diversity without being obvious, the facts leave the youngsters asking questions, this is just about a perfect book.

This wasn't great literature, but then I never expected it to be. It is a nice, easy read though and I thought it worked well as a modern version of P&P, although the second half of the book could have been drawn out a little more I thought - it's not clear exactly what happens to Wickham for example, and I do like my poetic justice to be well served!

The presentation is incredible (0 more)
Utterly pretentious (0 more)
Could have been more
This beautifully made little book walks that tightrope of being beautifully poetic and enormously pretentious. Why say in a few words when you can revel in your own genius? Because of this the words lose some of their bite which is a shame because before it started disappearing up the authors own arse , it could have been a dark gothic masterpiece.

She is...
This is a book about all Maggie O'Farrell's near death experiences and finally one of her daughter's. Beautiful poetic and hugely honest, although it's the brushes with death that it charters it is the surviving life that flows from the pages. It is a book about being a women, of becoming an adult, of having air in your lungs and another day to love.
