[The Incest Diary] is a controlled,exquisitely written book, it disturbs and disgusts, but it also mesmerizes and,at certain moments, charms in its quiet brutality.” —Amia Srinivasan, Harper’s Magazine
"Unforgettable . . . one of the most frank and cathartic depictions of child abuse ever written . . . An unflinching and staggeringly artful portrait of a shattered life . . . she has articulated an experience that for many victims remains unspeakable." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Without a doubt [The Incest Diary] stands apart as a stark reminder of the human spirit's indomitability, and literature’s role as ballast" Rich Smith, The Stranger
"Clear and urgent." Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"So necessary." Lauren Oyler, Broadly
"Her writing is exceptionally clear-eyed and beautiful, though the content is appalling . . . The memoir shows the complex ripple effects of incest." Zosia Bielski, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
