Ghost Light by Joseph O'connor
A story of love's commitment, of partings and reconciliations, of the courage involved in living on nobody else's terms, Ghost Light is a profoundly moving and ultimately uplifting novel.
When I think of Ghost Light, the words climb over each other to be first in the queue: brilliant, beautiful, exhilarating, heartbreaking, masterlyIt's that good. * Roddy Doyle *
This is a great ambitious novel about love, loss, lamentation. Joseph O'Connor has the magic touch...I can't imagine many better -- or braver -- novels coming out this year. * Colum McCann *
A brilliant novel. * Joseph O'Neill *
As I read Ghost Light, I found myself going more and more slowly, because I didn't want to miss a single sentence. I found myself calling friends and reading passages aloud to them over the phone. This is a rare experience indeed. It is a rare and wonderful book. * Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours *
Masterful in its management of re-imagined lives and the time they inhabit -- Hugo Hamilton * Financial Times *
