Review
'Neil Jordan...is essentially a gifted writer who happens to make movies...a novel of immensely sinister charm.' THE IRISH TIMES
'The time you pass reading Shade is only the start of an experience; this novel will continue to haunt and fascinate well beyond the final page.'THE SUNDAY INDEPENDENT.
'The first novel by Neil Jordan in a decade is his most moving and poetic'- THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE.
'Shade is a superbly dark and mesmerising portrait of an Irish childhood and a sad tale of innocence lost. It's also a powerful and moving love story but, needless to say coming from the pen of one of Ireland's most intelligent and provocative artists, it's far from being a conventional one.' HOT PRESS
A seductive read with its stark images and its dreamy, evocative portrayal of childhood.' IRELAND ON SUNDAY
'Fiction told with a shocking density of thought and language.'THE EVENING HERALD
'Extraordinary...an enormously powerful book. I'd stake a bet it'll win him prizes'-THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
'Romantic...lyrical...a novel of atmosphere...it succeeds powerfully' THE SUNDAY TIMES
'Compelling, intriguing, at once a human drama and a fascinating metaphysical mystery'-PATRICK MCCABE
