Insightful, frank and often moving... Though there is an underlying note of deep sadness, more often she writes with humour, a dose of self mockery and no small amount of courage. -- Stephanie Merritt * Observer * [An] unsparing memoir... but Raven does much more than write an illness memoir... Raven explains in her introduction that Huntington's is not a linear disease but is experienced rather as a series of traumatic random-seeming assaults... it is that formless inevitability...that Raven enacts so powerfully here. -- Kathryn Hughes * Guardian * A phenomenal achievement... [it] chronicles her journey into her illness in a way that is truthful, traumatic and brave. * The Times * Brutally candid... [a] devastating but remarkable testament of self-preservation. -- Caroline Sanderson * The Bookseller, Editor's Choice * Charlotte Raven's Patient 1 is brilliant, terrifying, heart-breaking and laceratingly honest. She has the unflinching, unsentimental clarity of Rachel Cusk and the tender humour of John Bayley - but her style is utterly unique. -- Peter Bradshaw
