A deeply moving, powerful, and unforgettable book – Michael Ondaatje
A truly astonishing novel – it goes straight to the heart * Hilary Mantel *
A miracle of a novel which combines prose of bleak, unadorned beauty with a plot that keeps you up all night wondering how it will end… Clearly one of the masterpieces of the century – Colm Toibin
A novel of breadth, power and passion… From its poisonous and dramatic opening to its engrossing ending this novel will hold you in thrall throughout – Bernard MacLaverty
I believe Death and Nightingales is the finest novel by the greatest living Irish prose writer – Alan Warner
Crisp, taut and unsentimental…this tragic tale of gold, prejudice, terrorism, emigration, love and oppression remains an impressive and moving achievement * Observer *
Death and Nightingales should put Eugene McCabe in the first rank of contemporary Irish novelists – John Banville
