Review
Praise for Walter Keady "Keady's folksy, conspiratorial tone is truly irresistible." ---"Washington"" Post Book World" "Ex-priest Keady writes with authority about matters of the church. He's also a sharp plotter, and his characters shine."---"Publishers Weekly" "Keady, who grew up on a farm in the west of Ireland, clearly knows his territory." ---"The New York Times Book Review" "Keady is a refreshing new voice in Irish fiction."---"Library Journal"" ""Keady is a true storyteller, with an absolute command of the English language and a gift for communicating beautifully in both regional lyricism and slang." ---"St. Petersburg"" Times" "Keady paints an entertaining portrait of life, love, and Catholic guilt."---"Boston"" Sunday Herald"" ""Keady . . . has written of human beings, their wants and needs and sorrows and joys, in a manner that is universal." ---"Irish Echo"
