Críticas
"Funny, moving and beautifully written" (Edna O'Brien)
"Filled with light and shade, love and tragedy ... if it was a song you could sing it" (Anne Enright)
"It’s furious, it’s moving, it’s darkly funny, it punches you right in the gut, the writing is effortlessly wonderful, and every one of the wide variety of voices rings utterly true." (Tana French New York Times)
"Donal Ryan is the real deal ... A brilliantly realised, utterly resonant state-of-the-nation landscape" (Sunday Independent)
"Donal Ryan’s precise and evocative debut ... is a textured account of a community as it was during a brief moment of time. ... unexpectedly tender ... Ryan’s prism of life and lives is compellingly humane. ... This is an exciting, relevant and believable contemporary novel about the lost and the wounded that listens to the present without discarding either the sins of the fathers or the literary legacy of the past." (Eileen Battersby The Irish Times)
