'In Dear Merilyn Barbra Leslie sweeps a searchlight - some would say a blowtorch - over her own life. It is all-encompassing, all-revealing. She faces the most scarifying events head on and all manner of personal tragedies, but also moments of intense joy and exhilaration - in language as raw or as poetic as the scenes she describes.' - Colin Thiele
