Review:
O'Brien exquisitely evokes the harem atmosphere of convent life, the beauty and the silence, the bickering and the cruelties . . . If novels can be music, this is a novel with perfect pitch (Clare Boylan)
A wonderful book, a land to be revisited (Irish Times)
This subtle and beautifully constructed novel deals with the conflict between human and divine love (Sunday Times)
