An unflinchingly honest exploration of what it takes to be a good daughter, with a heart-melting scoop of ice cream. -- Elizabeth Gilbert A rich and rollicking tale that deepens into the tenderest of daughterly tributes. -- Helen Garner A conflicted love letter to her European origins and the uncrushable spirit of her glamorous, at times difficult parents, this lyrical page turner made me laugh and made me weep. -- Magda Szubanski A vivid and moving account of life as an only child: there's glamour in this world but terrors aplenty. -- Richard Glover Only is a wild and deeply felt tale.
