An author at the top of her game * Sunday Express *
O'Farrell's language is lissom, airborne, mostly seamless, her characters flawed, contradictory, aggravating and instantly knowable. This is a deceptively easy, effortlessly true-feeling novel; a total delight * Metro *
A quite wonderful novel...at once enthralling, page turning and atmospheric * Irish Examiner *
