Trade Review

Fascinating… a delight not to be missed. It’s a rare treat indeed to find such an honest, penetrating, wise and thoughtful autobiobiography.’ – Eilís Dillon, The Irish Times ‘A beautifully-written book.’ – Benedict Kiely, Sunday Independent ‘Wonderfully lyrical… and extremely well written. It is haunting and memorable. When you finish it, you can hardly wait for another volume.’ – Peter Levi, Irish University Review
