The Glorious Heresies by Lisa Mcinerney
A big, bold debut from a true new Irish talent.
A rich, touching, hilarious novel * Financial Times *
A spectacular debut. . a head-spinning, stomach-churning state-of-the-nation novel about a nation falling apart * Telegraph *
A big, brassy, sexy beast of a book * Irish Times *
A superb debut from a confident and comic writer * Mail on Sunday *
Fiendishly hilarious * The Times *
All the trappings of a possible future classic . . . a fascinating and accomplished commentary on modern Irish life * Big Issue *
A daring, exuberant and generous novel * Observer *
There is the humour and the sheer, seething, broiling energy of the prose, which is peppered with the kind of language your mother would call unforgivable. As in Roddy Doyle and Irvine Welsh at their best, it doesn't feel gratuitous. It just feels true * Sunday Times *
A rambunctious portrayal of a swaggering off-kilter underclasss -- Patricia Nicol * Sunday Times *
This year's Baileys prize winner, the interlinked stories of chancers, gangsters and no-hopers in Cork city, is crime caper, teen romance and blisteringly dark social satire all rolled into one. Angry, funny and full of heart * Guardian summer reads *
