Review
Wickedly funny, mistress of a bizarre, black, adult humour. (FINANCIAL TIMES)
Her comedy is the pure melancholy of the classic clown... the final portrait of Gladys is worthy of Goya. (OBSERVER)
This is Jewish writing at its best... Coloured as it is with a rich humour, at once unsentimental and compassionate. (TLS)
For sparkle... go Bernice Rubens. (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
