“Often heartbreaking, sometimes harrowing and consistently hilarious.
What I Would Tell Her tells the world about the savagely
beautiful bond between fathers and daughters, and it does so
without a drop of saccharine or sap. Spectacularly achieved, and
fascinating from the very first page.”
—Jason Roberts, author of A Sense of the World
