'Horrific, but remarkable too. Let us hope that Constance's story will inspire young people everywhere to not only hold onto their dreams and make them happen, but also to be better parents themselves.' - Lesley Pearse Utterly extraordinary . . . harrowing, often deeply disturbing, but ultimately inspiring - Daily MailReading the book is like an exercise in bottling up your rage. Afterwards, you feel helpless and disturbed. Which is only right. - StandardAn astonishing true story of hope over adversity - Mail on Sunday Remarkable - Good Housekeeping'Horrific, but remarkable too. Let us hope that Constance's story will inspire young people everywhere to not only hold onto their dreams and make them happen, but also to be better parents themselves.' - Lesley Pearse'Try UGLY, Constance Briscoe's account of how her mother hated her looks and everything else about her (the author, incidentally, looks rather fetching in her jacket photograph).' - Sunday Telegraph'This is a lawyer's memoir with a difference, an inspiring antidote to the usual catalogue of tedious milestones towards legal eminence . . . She's also managed - a rare feat for a lawyer - to write an absorbing book in language untainted by convoluted legal-speak.' - Marcel Berlins, Guardian
