About this title

Review

Molloy's first novel is something special. Her narrator is a writer and her writing is therapy. Through the act of creating literature, she deals with the loves and pains of her life: father, mother, lovers and friends. It is a rare writer who can cloister her fiction in introspection and still keep up a pace that exercises a reader ...Molloy pulls this off.
