Critics Review
A beautifully intricate study which lays bare the twin pulls of joy and despair that are the metronome beat of life.
A beautifully intricate study which lays bare the twin pulls of joy and despair that are the metronome beat of life. – Henrietta McKervey * The Irish Times *
This wise, beautiful, sympathetic novel … It’s mature and measured, and speckled with phrases and thoughts that demand to be read again, and relished, and remembered. * Irish Independent *
No more satisfying book has been published all year … It’s a wise, touching story about redemption from an author with a commanding voice. Every page is a delight. – Eilis O’Hanlon * Sunday Independent *
