Critics Review
“I was fascinated, moved and entertained by every page.This is the kind of book the world needs right now.” –Donal Ryan, author, Strange Flowers
‘Fascinating and warm-hearted essay collection…a moving meditation on friendship and the deep-seated need to find and retain human connections.’ * IRISH INDEPENDENT *
‘Boland says she endeavours as a journalist to be as empathetic, responsible and ethical as possible. Comrades is an exceptional example of all three. She writes with a lightness of touch and robust integrity. Reading her book has been an immensely enjoyable experience, like getting into a bubble bath that’s the perfect temperature. It’s one that I will re-read and give as a gift to many friends of my own.’ * Irish Times *
‘Comrades is a wonderfully constructed, moving and honest book.’ * PATRICK FREYNE *
‘Chatty, thoughtful and entertaining - an absorbing journey along life’s tracks and trails.’ * THE SUNDAY TIMES IRELAND *
‘A gift of a book.’ * THE GLOSS *
