Reviews

'Lifescapes encourages us to take a deep breath, contemplate life more keenly and acknowledge the miraculous if--and when--we find it.' * Observer * 'A lyrical, radiant memoir.' * Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review * 'What a treat it is to read a writer at the top of her game...astonishing.' * Daily Telegraph * 'Wroe operates like a kind of tuning fork . . . She seems to feel the energy that thrums in people, nature and objects . . . Compelling.' * Times Literary Supplement * 'Wroe's writing is intense and visionary, at times almost ecstatic. Reader, dive in . . . Her voice, her writing, already add such consonance, such alert and graceful rapture, to the music of the world.' * Spectator *
