Denise Hamilton at Native Intelligence: "It�s hard to write this because I can feel her peering over my shoulder, scolding me, telling me to buck up, stop sniffling, lose the adjectives and just get on with it. Because that�s how she lived her life, long before she became ill and all the way down to the very end."
