Trade Review
"Her observations are lemon-fresh, her writing beautiful, witty and wry." * Sunday Express *
"Ni Dhuibhne's writing is marvellous, building layers of impression until a complex, vital and true-false picture of liberation is revealed." * Irish Times *
"Ni Dhuibhne has a great way of mixing and merging the realistic with something otherworldly, like crossing an Alice Munro or an Anne Tyler with an Angela Carter or a Jeanette Winterson." * Books Ireland *
