Media Reviews
Pauline Neville is an Aladdin. She rubs her lamp of memory and scenes from a vanished past, both happy and painful, miraculously reappear. The pictures from her childhood in Northern Ireland are wonderfully engaging. She has written a letter to the dead: and, as time shifts and scenes change, they come alive again, vivid and humorous. It is a piece of magic. - Michael Holroyd.
