Critics Review

Frazzetto explains with admirable clarity – James McConnachie * The Sunday Times *Takes us on a journey through anger, anxiety, grief, joy, love - and underlines just how far science can now go in its explanations before we have to call in the poets and the philosophers – Lisa Appignanesi * Observer *
