A beautiful, heartrending book * Observer *
It is a very brave book… Gabriel is an astute writer with a keen eye for the telling detail – Kate Chisholm * Daily Mail *
Eating Pomegranates brought a prose of rare depth and distinction to the genetic science, harrowing psychology and even spiritual aspects of breast cancer: a horribly familiar pilgrimage through fear and hope for many, but hardly ever handled with such force and grace – Boyd Tonkin * Independent
4, It’s very intimate, and very well told. – William Leith * Scotland on Sunday *
sadly so prevalent in recent years, the cancer memoir has seldom scaled the heights of eloquence or the depths of understanding that Sarah Gabriel brings to this book. * Independent *
It always rings true, written, even at its most distressing, with elegant self-critical precision – Judith Rice * Guardian *
Gabriel’s account of her illness is not only a literary gem, but will force anyone who reads it to re-assess how they talk to friends and family facing a similar prognosis. – Emma Hagestadt * The Lady *
