Editorial Reviews
Review
"* 'Secret is a spare, haunting, brilliantly poised evocation of the way experiences of war, pain, and shame, even when unspoken, percolate through the family to shape and distort new generations.' Lisa Appignanesi * 'A spare, remarkable novel that reads as easily as a children's tale, yet packs a grown-up punch.' Independent * 'A slim little book - quick, but heavy with terror. Secret is a marvel.' Financial Times"
