A broad and beautifully worked canvas … An imaginative, deeply felt and evocative tale * Sunday Times *
A daring, imaginative feat; the world it conjures is at once familiar and strange, and strangely moving. A splendid first novel – John Banville
This is a strong and moving work of fiction about the hard truths of changing one’s life. Colm Tóibín, like his characters, never says too much and never lets us grow too comfortable. A grand achievement – Don DeLillo
Colm Tóibín writes prose of a heartbreaking beauty. – Hilary Mantel
Clever, evocative and intelligent * Irish Times *
The story is told with spare, simple elegance * London Review of Books *
