I read Forgetting Zoe with great pleasure, admiration, and envy. What a writer. The characters are so sharply drawn they're etched into the page... Captivating. A great storytelling achievement. -- Tim Pears A convincing portrait of how childhood brutality is passed down the generations...Direct in its depiction of abuse, Forgetting Zoe is never less than psychologically acute. * Financial Times * Stockholm syndrome is a curious but understandable condition, intelligently and vividly explored by Ray Robinson...Ray Robinson is a writer with keen observation. His prose is hard, abrupt and sinewy...It is a novel that contains violence but also stillness, that reveals more than it makes explicit...A mature and accomplished work. -- Allan Massie * The Scotsman * Very provocative...Powerfully done. -- Tom Sutcliffe * Saturday Review, Radio 4 * Terribly convincing...The ventriloquism is very skilled. -- Kevin Jackson * Saturday Review, Radio 4 *
