‘Adams follows the evolution of O'Malley's development as a socialist activist and theatrical director with penetrating insight … He is to be commended for his realistic and refreshingly human portrait of a “complex woman who was remarkable but not always lovable.” … For readers interested in the historical development of theatre in Belfast, Fierce Love is indispensable reading.’ Reading Ireland
