RaveThe Telegraph (UK)\"...a book that’s extraordinary both for the story it tells and the acuity with which it’s told. Elegantly translated from French by Natasha Lehrer and Ruth Diver, A Hymn to Life is far from a victim narrative or a misery memoir. Nor is it a simple tale – for Pelicot is willing to confront the complexity of her feelings for the man who betrayed her ... this is a powerful tale of a mighty woman.\
Michelle Obama
PositiveThe Telegraph (UK)Obama offers advice on building self-confidence, calming anxiety and parenting. But it’s grounded in reality ... It’s not groundbreaking stuff; nor is her advice to leave your comfort zone, or to be kind to yourself and others, or to make time for friends. But it is all delivered in her trademark tone, unintimidating yet inspiring ... She readily admits that she doesn’t have all the answers to life’s problems. But there is plenty of wisdom in this book to help the rest of us.
