Reseña del editor
`Set in a post-war London still recovering from the Blitz, the novel follows the overlapping lives of five characters who inhabit the ruins of North London . . . Casey escorts his reader through the labyrinths of his character's minds, unpicking the jumbled mosaic of mourning, desire and fear. The Water Star is a bitter-sweet testimony to the never-ending struggle between exile and assimilation' John Tague, Times Literary Supplement `There is something at once tough and endearing in Casey's predominant concerns with making his creations seem like real people, with delineating intimate human relationships - with being, essentially, emotive and compassionate' John Kenny, Irish Times `Casey is a poet and a playwright; he has a poet's delicate ear and a playwright's eye for direction . . . The Water Star is a graceful, gentle novel that does not shy from the truth. It is a metaphor of lives rebuilt from rubble - whether the detritus of the past or the structures shattered by the Blitz' Erica Wagner, The Times
