Press Reviews

  • THE TIMES
    Graceful
  • PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
    Poignant, virtuosic and utterly captivating
  • ‘
    However good the film version, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Renee Zellwegger, it won't beat Janet Fitch's reissued novel White Oleander.
  • IN STYLE UK
    Liquid poetry is how Oprah Winfrey described it.
