Critics Review

Strong and taut - Literary Hub

M is for Mammy. It’s also for Marvellous! What a wonderful story - in turns heart-breaking, heart-warming, and hilarious (which is not an easy combination to pull off). Also, Granny Mae-Anne is a FABULOUS creation … Eleanor, it’s a glorious debut

A heartfelt debut about love, understanding and the complicated ties of family - Prima

Channelling the warm heart and good cheer of Marian Keyes, this debut novel from O’Reilly … tells the very amusing story of the Augustt family. We meet the son who doesn’t speak, the mother who’s had a stroke, the granny who talks enough for the lot of them - and the daughter who’s decided to write it all down. - Irish Independent

Lovely, sharp, compassionate, well-observed writing

I really enjoyed this, Eleanor is a lovely writer - Sheila O’Flanagan

Rambunctious - Irish Times

A cracking good read … more characters like the formidable, feisty Granny, please! LOVED HER. - The Book Scoop
