Reviews for Girlchild
'This novel's tawdry setting provides the crucible for a work of real beauty ... [Rory's] childhood resembles a gritty screenplay of fierce love, hopelessness and fear, with a narrative resigned and ecstatic by turns as Hassman's luminous prose also refuses to conform' Guardian.
