What the critics say

"Enright's hypnotic prose turns...desperation into something fierce and beautiful." ( Booklist)
"A melancholic love and rage bubbles just beneath the surface of this Dublin clan, and Enright explores it unflinchingly." ( Publishers Weekly)

Very dreary but well written

This book is beautifully written. However, it is very dreary, sad and not very easy to read. Was a struggle to finnish.
