'An extraordinary, electrifying book about loss, chaos, addiction
and death, and the wild work of staying tender in the face of it' -
OLIVIA LAING
'The intelligence of the writing is a kind of grace in itself -
light and deep and beautiful' - DEBORAH LEVY
'This Ragged Grace examines the fragility of the self in exquisite
detail. Generous, compelling, poignant and ultimately, life
affirming; Bright has managed to capture the complexity of being
human' - HEIDI JAMES
'A truly enlightening read: poetic, courageous and surprising.
Beautiful, intelligent prose and such a brave journey into art,
family and the deep structures of an addictive personality. On top
of that This Ragged Grace is a love letter to the sea and the
wisdom we share with it. I loved it' - DORTHE NORS
