Reviews

A phenomenal memoir. I am in awe. It takes exceptional strength to survive the events described in this book and courage, skill and magic to write a life story, especially when this type of story is often marginalised -- Amy Liptrot A clear-eyed, unsentimental account of the author's childhood being shuffled between foster homes. Her resilience is remarkable. It's a book that really made me want to reach through the pages and help -- Douglas Stuart An astonishing piece of work. I tore through it, and it through me. I will never, ever forget it -- Niall Griffiths Ootlin is a 21st century classic from one of our most exceptional writers -- Adelle Stripe Heartbreaking, magnificent, and incredibly important . . . [Jenni Fagan] is one of the best -- Ever Dundas

Beautiful, deep, dangerous, transfixing . . . it will burn a home in your heart, it has in mine. Read every word of every page. Turn them carefully. Jenni Fagan is made of fire and spirit. From start to finish I could not put it down. Close the door. Sit down now. Read Ootlin. Read -- Lemn Sissay
