What They're Saying
Critics Review
Captivating characters and stunning storytelling, plus the dialogue is just spot on. This is going to be a huge book
The narrative pings along - as compulsive as it is shocking … a brilliant debut - the best Irish one in a strong year – Sue Leonard * Irish Examiner, Books of the Year *A gorgeous coming of age story, exploring the mother-daughter relationship with generosity and nuance – Louise O’NeillA brave, essential book … beautiful – Luke CassidySearing … with a sharp humour and a highly original voice … This is not a ‘coming of age’ story, a love story, or a dissection of marriage; it’s all of these things at once, and somehow more nakedly raw than those genres, alone, could possibly capture. * Totally Dublin *Lyrical and explosive in equal measure, this book pulses with love and loss – Sheila Armstrong
