She tells her story with admirable candour
Jane Shilling, Sunday Times
It is her fearless examination of her "love-hate" relationship with her mother ... that is most fascinating.
GUARDIAN
She is not just the voice of Radio 4's Woman's Hour...She IS Woman's Hour.
THE TIMES
Intimate, confessional ... as powerfully raw and moving as anything I've ever read.
THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
A painfully honest account of a complex relationship.
WOMAN & HOME
A captivating account of growing up in the 1950s and 1960s by the Woman's Hour presenter... she describes in frank and compelling detail how her parents have influenced and shaped her life, setting her personal experiences against a backdrop of changing social attitudes, politics and culture.
SAINSBURY'S MAGAZINE, August 2008
It is as though this skilled journalist is interviewing herself, reining back the instinct to comment and teasing out the story. This history of women's lives... is one well worth the telling.
THE INDEPENDENT
An intense story, vividly and sometimes humorously told.
DAILY MAIL
Calm, clever and compassionate.
SUNDAY TIMES
Murray is as scrupulously honest in depicting her own failings as her mother's, and the depth of their affection - "I feel I am beginning a love letter" she writes - shines through.
TELEGRAPH REVIEW
A humorous and deeply human account, looking back at the rejected little girl who became the voice of Radio 4... a warm and revealing memoir.
INDEPENDENT
Warm and thoroughly readable.
INDEPENDENT
Heart-warming.
