Product Description
Kate Bradley, The Bookseller (Choice)
'Pilgrim State is an extraordinary memoir that may become a word-of-mouth hit in the same way as Andrea Ashworth's Once in a House on Fire or Lorna Sage's Bad Blood. Throughout this intensely personal book, the fierce love and pride that the author feels for her mother punctuates every sentence. This will be read by mothers and daughters alike, and both will find a resonance in the lives of these two women.'

'From behind the boarded up windows of one of Americas most awful psychiatric institutions emerges a most profound woman: Dorothy Walker, who spirited her family to the relative safety of Great Britain despite enormous odds. A wonderful, deeply moving book.' (James McBride, Author of The Color of Water )
'Fine, honest writing and acute personal insight . . . Jacqueline Walker has written this fond, striking memoir as a homage to a brave and beautiful woman.' (Iain Finlayson, The Times )
