The Riordans will stay in your mind long after you finish this
book. They're funny, infuriating and impossible not to love. They
feel like family
*Irish Times*
My favourite kind of novel: big-hearted, psychologically complex
and utterly gripping
*Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette*
Unputdownable
*Joanna Briscoe, Guardian*
Instantly appealing...magical
*Daily Telegraph*
Masterful...holds you on an exquisite knife-edge
*Marie Claire*
An author at the top of her game
*Sunday Express*
O'Farrell's language is lissom, airborne, mostly seamless, her
characters flawed, contradictory, aggravating and instantly
knowable. This is a deceptively easy, effortlessly true-feeling
novel; a total delight
*Metro*
A quite wonderful novel...at once enthralling, page turning and
atmospheric
*Irish Examiner*
