Jennifer Johnson is known for her meticulous reviews and I love the way she draws sections of the book together, building to this enthusiastic encomium at the finish:
“I highly recommend Safe Ground as it intelligently and powerfully communicates both the pain and joy of a complex life, lived by a cultured woman who has resolved ‘Like father, like daughter, I would live my life to the full and embrace love.’”
You can get your own copy of #SafeGround from your local Waterstones or online at Waterstones, the publisher Mica and Amazon.
*Sadly, the original link has been lost with three years of other London Grip reviews. Luckily Johnson’s review has been archived via Wayback Machine, as explained by London Grip: it’s on the page for 20 June, 2025. As luck would also have it, I laid out the review in full – before it was lost – on my Reviews & Features page here – please scroll down beyond The High Window. Thank you.
