Recenzii

To write well about Ulster while keeping terrorism from monopolising the foreground is infinitely hard. This wise, sincere, troubling novel shows how it should be done
To pull off this sort of story satisfactorily demands a skill in timing and a clarity in presentation which are beyond most novelists: but Park doesn't put a foot wrong
Park is an excellent writer; psychologically astute, lyrically unflinching
One of the shrewdest observers of the way we live
