I became more and more drawn into this muddy land by your own insights and exploration. Thanks.

A fantastic and informative review that makes me want to rush out and buy this collection.

Apologies as sent the above prematurely. I have enjoyed Jean Sprackland previously and your review, like others above, makes me want to read this collection. Appears to have a definite earthiness while also making us reflect on illness and the frustrations of dealing with solicitors. Thank you again for all the work that goes into producing the Friday Poem.

I read just enough of this post - saving the rest for later, once I've read this collection! - to know I want this book. Gorgeous writing.

Thank you - this has led to me taking the book off the shelf and I am sure I will get more out of rereading it after reading your review.
