She conjures places as vividly as feelings, and feelings as exactly as her surroundings. She reinvents the past with the aid of photographic prose, an album not only for herself and her sisters in Ireland, but full of pictures many who read this book will recognise (VOGUE )
Touching and nostalgic (GUARDIAN )
It is the only intimate and un-angry expression of the feelings of a colonised people that I have ever read (David Thomson )
