Ghost Mountain by Hession Ronan

Ghost Mountain by Hession Ronan

Ghost Mountain is a mountain that appeared yesterday, changing the lives of the local people: the town drunk, a retired teacher and her dog, a young soul and his wife, an old soul. It is a story about all that is unmistakably present yet never truly fathomable in our lives.

The Guardian - Frank Cottrell Boyce

Hession is brilliant at framing the minutiae of ordinary days and feelings

The Irish Times - Val Nolan.

 Val Nolan compares his writing to that of  'Murakami and Beckett' finishing with this sentence.

'We are very lucky that novels like this are being written today in Ireland.'
