"A powerful, intense, incredibly frank and uncomfortably erotic portrait of a woman striving to find herself, an intelligent and strong woman who yet has weaknesses that make her vulnerable. The prose is beautiful even when the subject is dangerous." - Crime Time Radio
"A brave and important book that reads like an engrossing thriller." - Grace Nichols, author of Passport to Here and There
"Febrile and frequently disturbing, it had me gripped right to the end." - Mick Jackson, author of The Underground Man
"This is such a powerful, resonant work. If it doesn't reap dozens of literary prizes, then the literary world is as corrupt and supine as I've always believed it to be." - Morning Star UK
