'Cages abound in Lucy Neave’s sad, engrossing new novel Believe in Me. In some instances – such as birds that need rescuing – they’re lifesavers. In others, they’re psychic prisons that are horribly damaging to both bodies and minds. This is a story of mothers and daughters, each entrapped in her own way by her skin and her secrets and by the expectations of others, mortal and celestial.' (Introduction)
