A charming and eye-opening book
*the Guardian*
The author more than earns her stripes... It's impossible not to
admire her.
*The Evening Standard*
This humane, adventurous and wonderfully illuminating exploration
will entertain and challenge everyone, from carnivore to vegan.
*Patrick Barkham*
Vivid, visceral and honest. Gray observes without ever being
detached, and that's a rare talent.
*Ella Risbridger*
Compellingly readable, wise and kind. There's plenty of serious
reflection too, all the more arresting for Gray's lightness of
touch.
*Charles Foster*
A thorough, engaging, sometimes shocking account of where our meat
comes from. It is also, importantly, a book about caring.
*Caught by the River*
Sensitive and powerful.
*Prospect*
Well paced, well researched and politically even-handed.
*Country Life*
Louise Gray is a micromaster.
*The Scotsman*
The book has charm and style... The accounts of hunting trips with
her father contain some vivid and quite moving nature writing.
*the Guardian*
She writes well and this is a book that all should read – but it
isn’t simply a duty, it’s a gritty pleasure.
*Mark Avery*
Fascinating… Told in beautiful, descriptive prose that shows her
love and knowledge of nature.
*Western Mail*
This is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about where
the meat and fish they eat comes from ... and the environmental and
social impact.
*The Press and Journal*
A sensible read for meat-eaters who have ever wondered what it's
like to stand in the business end of an abattoir.
*i*
This brave project by Louise Gray is told in beautiful, descriptive
prose that shows her love and knowledge of nature.
*Sunday Post*
A fascinating insight... The book is neither preachy nor lacking in
laughs. Gray writes with humour and humanity.
*Sunday Herald*
