Review:

Fresh, beautiful and quirky (OBSERVER)

Full of laughter as well as affection ...a midsummer dream (THE TIMES)

Clare Boylan has a light touch... her humour is sure, with a right feeling for the grotesque... the mixture is delicious. (IRISH TIMES)

All the familiar concerns of Clare Boylan's short stories are extended here into a beautifully observed, witty and touching story of growing up in a tyrannical household and surviving. (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)

Book Description:

* Holy Pictures is a charming tale of eccentricity that brings to mind GOOD BEHAVIOUR by Molly Keane. The characters' story is continued in HOME RULE
