Both moving and informative * Guardian *
One in Three is a different type of cancer book. It is calm, factual, beautifully written, intelligent and moving. ... this book brings understanding, and most of all it also brings some hope * Literary Review *
a touching and deeply personal farewell. ... Wishart succeeds brilliantly in constructing a narrative that is a tribute both to his father and the scientists who have partly unpacked the mystery of cancer * Sunday Telegraph *
An imaginative fusion of anecdotal detail, medical science and poignant, elegiac narrative marks every chapter of this unusual book... What emerges is a unique profile of a father-son relationship, poignantly affectionate yet utterly devoid of sentimentality. -- John Cornwell * Sunday Times *
This book is a remarkable meld of medical history, scientific fact, and the human experience of cancer, once - and to an extent still - the most feared of diseases. Adam Wishart follows his father's experience of cancer, as well as his own as a son, in the most enthralling manner possible. I couldn't commend it more highly. * Claire Rayner *
...few who have read it would write off One In Three, Adam Wishart's fascinating if avowedly non-expert account of the quest for a cure for cancer - woven around the story of his father's struggle against the disease that will afflict one in three of us. * The Telegraph *
