Praise for One Moment
-
Original and moving - Mirror
-
A well-drawn story of love, empathy and friendship - Candis

I tore through it, alternating between rage and pain. In particular, Kaz (and Terry's) situation is explored with forensic authenticity - Linda has centred the experience of people so often treated as marginal in fiction - Shelley Harris, author of VIGILANTE
-
Heart-rending and packed with emotion - a thought-provoking read - Rosanna Ley, author of THE LEMON TREE HOTEL
-
Such a beautiful, careful, thoughtful, gorgeously-observed story, where the characters pulsated off the page. And oh, the finale... A breathtaking moment where I think my heart stopped. I cried and cried - Louise Beech, author of CALL ME STAR GIRL
