Madeleine

'The decision to publish this book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts ... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth ... Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn't done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have taken over the last five years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything ... Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.'

Reviews

You won't find a more moving and powerful account of love and loss

—— Douglas Wight , News of the World

Madeleine is not only an impressive and well-written chronicle of a terrible crime, it is a must-read because someone out there knows something

—— James Murray , Sunday Express

Powerful... Kate's book blazes with the sheer, visceral force of her love for her daughter

—— Sandra Parsons , Daily Mail

Mrs McCann writes honestly about her torment

—— Robert Mendick , Sunday Telegraph

It's hard to read these words without wanting to weep

—— Christina Patterson , Independent

This haunting account makes me rue the day I doubted them

—— David Jones , Daily Mail

It is high time the McCann haters pushed off... It seems clear that, far from self-justifying, or attention-seeking, this book is what it has always been about for the McCanns - a practical solution to fundraising

—— Barbara Ellen , Observer

The saddest story I have ever heard... it touches levels of human agony far beyond the reach of everyday journalism

—— Craig Brown , Mail on Sunday

This book brought tears to my eyes several times... but despite the tragedy at the heart of the book, there are flashes of humour

—— Daisy Goodwin , The Sunday Times

Deeply moving

—— Angus McBride , Guardian

A searingly honest book

—— Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan , Daily Express

Extremely honest and candid

—— Lorraine Kelly , Sun

(A) testament to the ferocity of maternal love

—— Allison Pearson , Daily Telegraph

Heller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here

—— Sunday Times

Likeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them

—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
