‘An astounding work of insight and clarity… so eloquently expressed, especially the family’s long-standing tradition of stifling ambition, autonomy and independence – thereby thwarting so much potential – that it almost broke me. It will resonate with so many, helping to show them that they’re not alone.’ Stephen Holland—Page 45
