DOLLY ALDERTON
The High Low
Coming Undone by Terri White is possibly the most affecting, moving memoir I've ever read. Painful and exquisite, her writing about how childhood trauma shaped her got to me in a very visceral way. It's a remarkable book
MARIAN KEYES Raw and remarkable
Guardian, Book of the Year
Powerful and moving, beautifully written, packed with stunning set-pieces and, I thought, a stinging-but-dazzling, complicated love-hate letter to NYC, and to how our dreams can too often deceive us. I found it bittersweet and raw, and radical as a memoir narrative: not so much a redemption tale as a chronicle of the real fallout of trauma: messy, difficult, intricate, infinite . . . [A] life-changing read
EMMA JANE UNSWORTH I didn't put it down until finished. White's extraordinary memoir is gripping, unflinchingly honest and written with great wit
SALI HUGHES Unique, painful, compelling
AMY LIPTROT Coming Undone is a beautiful, if uncomfortable, read and White writes with an unflinching, scalding frankness
