Reviews

‘what she shares with the reader is profound, necessary and also, at times, funny and quite beautiful.’
*The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald*

Sholl has given us a beautifully written memoir that powerfully delivers the wisdom each of us will need at some point about how a human life is spacious enough to accommodate both grief and joy.
*Sarah Krasnostein, author of The Trauma Cleaner*

Sholl is a stunning writer and observer of the human condition. Gripping, candid and tender, Found, Wanting is for anyone who knows the loneliness of loss.
*Jessie Stephens, author of Heartsick*

‘With rich yet unpretentious prose, Found, Wanting is a compelling read and a brilliant study of how the death of a loved one is both completely unique and devastating each time, yet one of the most commonplace facets of life.’
*Books + Publishing*

‘Found, Wanting’s relentless and heartbreaking depiction of loss could’ve been unbearable were it not for the moving beauty of the writing.’
*Kill Your Darlings*

‘Forthright, compelling and at times darkly funny, it’s a thoughtful and beautifully written reflection on the ways Sholl came undone’
*The West Australian*
