review 1: Picked it up for 20p at the school Christmas fair and started reading it to give the old brain some relief from the essential random conversations one must endure on these occasions. It is one lyrical long song right up to the end. Barry creates a tapestry of Roseanne's sad life amidst Ireland's turbulent history and wild landscape. It is an experience that will stay with me for a long time, and a great introduction to an author I have been planning to read since 2005.
review 2: I loved the pace of this book which was somewhat a memoir and mystery combined. The story was told by two narrators both having different points-of-view, but overlapping in curious ways. It was also a picture of Ireland that many of Irish heritage might find some trace of within their o... morewn experience, if only in the most subtle ways. The book was written in a style that almost required the reader to pause and let the images hang on in the way one imagines to be the very atmosphere of Sligo. less
