Review:
"An exceptional book" (Guardian)
"A compelling narrative of childhood survival ... the tale has a freshness, a vitality and a relentless energy ... extraordinarily powerful. The Invisible Wall is a triumph of the human spirit over multi-faceted adversity." (Daily Mail)
"Extraordinary ... spare, uncomplicated, and terribly vivid for it" (Independent)
"[A] heart-wrenching memoir ... the setting, beautifully rendered, recalls early DH Lawrence. It is a world of pain and prejudice, evoked in spare, restrained prose that brilliantly illuminates a time, a place and a family struggling valiantly to beat impossible odds. As an emotional experience and a vivid retelling of the author's past, it exerts uncommon power." (New York Times)
"A remarkable memoir ... vivid, compassionate and notably unsentimental" (Times Literary Supplement)
