About this title

Review:

'Hugo Hamilton is a major international writer who just happens to have grown up in Ireland. His great subject is innocence. In its strength and grace, his work glows.'
Anne Enright

‘Hamilton is adept at portraying issues of cultural translation...an intriguing addition to Hamilton’s fictional oeuvre.’ TLS

‘Love and violence are two sides of the same coin in this sympathetic consideration of what it means to be an exile and of the nature of friendship’ Daily Mail

‘Profound.’ Sinead Gleeson, Irish Times

‘Magnificently lucid.’ Independent

‘A rewarding read, offering us a fresh perspective on Irish society through only partly comprehending immigrant eyes.’ Liam Harte, Irish Times
