review 1: This is a novel that was beautiful and terrible, romantic and clinical, gentle and violent. And a novel that cuts to the core of our human nature and spirit.Johnny Donnelly is a unique character: an idealist, a philosopher, a sage, and a killer. He and the gorgeous Cora Flannery find beauty in the land and language of Ireland. But they have different views on how to defend that beautiful and tragic country.It was easy to be swept along with the dramatic, yet charming, narrative. The language is poetic. Debut novelist Mulholland has the gift for wrapping a whole country, language, and people up in his writing. And I was swept along all the way to the very end.
review 2: A charming and intriguing novel that follows a young Irish man who is passionate about life, ... morehis country, and a beautiful girl. But he has a secret: he is also IRA sniper. A dramatic turn of events makes him question everything.Weaving a work of fiction through Irish folklore, history, politics, and landscape this novel takes on a fantastical journey through the blurred lines of right and wrong. And the writing is poetic, and powerful.A Mad and Wonderful Thing is a story about why we do the things we do, the choices we make, the consequences they have, and finding redemption when all seems lost. It is a great read. More please from this writer. less
