Trust launch
Heather Betts' speech:
“This book, and the way Kate writes, is always in close contact with a remarkable sense of familiarity; what it means to be part of a family, a relationship, a group, a tribe. She hears the internal voices that we all have. She tenderly supports the misgivings, the wants and needs of her characters. She recognises their foibles and flaws but she praises them too. She is not judgemental, but chooses to see a logical sense in whichever way her protagonists behave.”
