'A cinematic tale with hardscrabble roots, staggering highs and
sickening lows. The novel reads like a celebrity tell-all, and this
makes it delicious. But it's also got heft, because Hugo's story is

created an exceptional character with the wherewithal to take on
the patriarchy.' * Globe and Mail *
