Opis

A heartbreaking, haunting story of childhood, loss and love by one of Ireland's most acclaimed writers, author of the Booker-shortlisted Small Things Like These.

Recenzje

Keegan's fiction makes most novels look too fancy; her short stories make most prose seem too plain. Her inner and outer landscapes, the palpable and the imagined, are all of a piece. You think you are just looking - it turns out you are travelling. London Review of Books
