Reviews / Votes
Praise for Roisin Meaney - :A cracking yarn ... Meaney can excavate the core of our human failings and present it to us, mirror-like on the page ... Which makes her utterly credible, utterly authentic, utterly irresistible - Irish Independent
A real treat ... [Meaney's] ability to weave stories around a seemingly random cast is simply uncanny ... she wraps her readers in the company and comfort of ordinary strangers - Sunday Independent
Meaney weaves wonderful feel-good tales of a consistently high standard. And that standard rises with each book she writes - Irish Examiner
An addictive read with engaging, flawed characters and a unique writing flair that pulls you into the plot from the very beginning and keeps you entranced to the very end - Books of All Kinds
A thoughtful, engrossing read. Warm and insightful. Roisin Meaney is a skilful storyteller - Sheila O'Flanagan
It's easy to see why Roisin Meaney is one of Ireland's best-loved authors ... Should you spot this on a bookshelf, grab a copy - Bleach House Library
Roisin Meaney has once again done herself proud and written a book that should feature on many people's reading lists for this summer ... Do yourself a favour and buy this book - Shaz's Book Blog
