* Irish Independent *A web of intrigue, love, loss and betrayal that keeps you hooked right up to the end.
* RTÉ Culture *A novel with authentic atmosphere, compelling characters, flowing language and a tumultuous finish.
* The Business Post *A masterful novel that will never leave you.
An engrossing, enlightening, beautiful novel.
One of his best... I recommend it.
* The Irish Catholic *Elegant, supremely crafted.
Cunningham’s novel is lyrically tender, but grows into a forensic distillation of nationalist and religious faultlines.
Freedom Is a Land I Cannot See is an intriguing, satisfying and beautiful novel about love, loss, truth and courage.
A superbly crafted novel... It conveys with great skill – probably better than any history book could – the conflicting, crisscrossing, complex loyalties of so many families caught up in those high-octane, dangerous times.
* Irish Times *A pacy plot, lyrical writing and compelling characters.
