Critics Review

This is such a beautiful book. – Eithne Shortall, author of THE LODGERS ‘Promising Young Woman’ by way of Ireland and a new literary voice that wields her pen like a scalpel … shocking, subversive and unforgettable. – Catherine Ryan Howard, author of 56 DAYS Christine Anne Foley invites us to think about the way a woman operates in a society where her body feels owned by others as must as it is by herself. It’s a story about sex, death, growing up and making choices about who and how you love. * Irish Times *
