From the IMPAC-nominated author Alison Jameson, THIS FAMILY OF
THINGS is a poignant, powerful examination of the lives of three
siblings in rural Ireland.
'Pitch perfect, a fabulous writer' Donal Ryan
Alison Jameson grew up on a farm in the Irish midlands, a secluded and beautiful place that continues to inspire her work. She is the bestselling author of This Man and Me, which was nominated for the IMPAC Literary Award, and Under My Skin. Her third novel, Little Beauty, was published by Doubleday Ireland in 2013. An English and History graduate of University College Dublin, she worked in advertising for many years before becoming an author. Home is Dublin where she lives with her husband and son.
A beautifully intricate study which lays bare the twin pulls of joy
and despair that are the metronome beat of life.
*The Irish Times*
This wise, beautiful, sympathetic novel . . . It's mature and
measured, and speckled with phrases and thoughts that demand to be
read again, and relished, and remembered.
*Irish Independent*
No more satisfying book has been published all year . . . It’s a
wise, touching story about redemption from an author with a
commanding voice. Every page is a delight.
*Sunday Independent*
