There is a sense of great weight about this book; the characters move through a dense and cloudy atmosphere of fear and suspicion... Rahill's lyrical prose is constant'

Irish Times

Rahill is a stylist of the highest calibre: Molly's voice has a lilting brogue that sings from the page. Rahill's prose is alive with inventive phrasings and imagistic virtuosity, especially in its presentation of the intimate experience of the fleshly body – the maternal body, the cruelly waning body, the body tormented by a conflicted and unravelling mind. I've seldom read a novel so rich in poetry

Guardian

Powerful... Heartbreaking and beautifully observed'

Irish Times

Elske Rahill writes with a lyrical artistry and her words delicately weave the threads of a timeline filled with fierce love and crippling hurt
