Her powerful, elegant memoir should be read by everyone.... as an example of what truly well-written and unflinching self-examination can be like.

The Sunday Telegraph

Witnessing her strength and sheer determination to live makes this striking book completely engrossing.

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

You know how sometimes you read a book that's so powerful, you find you keep flipping to the back to look at the author's photo? Lessons in Taxidermy has that effect.

Time Out New York

Lavender's memoir is exquisite, precise and deeply affecting from beginning to end.
