Publication week for Brittney Griner’s Coming Home got off to an excellent start with an in-depth review in the Observer.
Described by Emma John as a ‘swooping drama’ with a ‘high-stakes narrative’, Coming Home is a suspenseful read, packed with poignancy and power.
The review states:
‘The details may be grim but it’s the descent into powerlessness that is so disturbing, as Griner is sucked into a draconian and corrupt penal system where her future freedom depends on no less comforting a figure than Vladimir Putin himself.’
And:
‘It is some feat to create so much suspense in a story when the world already knows the outcome. The tension builds from the very first page, as we’re thrown at pace into the entirely avoidable accident that precipitates events.’
