I so enjoyed this pacey read. Hedi writes with brutal honesty and empathy as this story unfolds – you will not be able to put this book down.

no8

Hedi captures the dramatic impact that fragile X syndrome had on her family with a superb combination of fact, fiction and bags of Joburg Jewish nostalgia.

no7

5 Glowing stars!!! If I could give it more I would! This book grabbed me from the first page! I loved it. It was so familiar to read being a Jewish mother living in Johannesburg.

no6

Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only grabs you from the first page, but fulfils its promise until the very end. My only complaint is that the book ended.
