'House of Glass is extraordinary. It reads like a mystery and a memoir and a gripping history of the last century ... Freeman doesn't hide from the grey spaces people inhabit during wartime, or shy away from drawing the terrifying parallels to today's iterations of those ancient hatreds. It's a brave and wonderful book' Nathan Englander Praise for Hadley Freeman: 'I love movies, Hadley Freeman and everything she has to say' Judy Blume 'The writing is fresh, original. It is tempting to gorge on this collection at breakneck speed. But it works better as a series of witty polemics on women's place in society' Observer 'Reading this memoir-cum-conversation is like sitting in a pub with a group of girlfriends, setting the world to rights and suddenly becoming aware of another group talking about the same issues ... only they are more raucous, cooler, ruder and more intellectually engaged' Sunday Times 'Freeman writes with real passion ... and she writes warmly and kindly about dating, sex and how to cope when all your friends suddenly disappear into the baby-making void ... it's good to know you have someone that fearless, funny and - yes - awesome in your corner' Stylist Magazine
