Reviews
-
I am utterly obsessed with Niall Williams.
Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of TOM LAKE
-
A study in human community that made me laugh out loud and remember how to love even the people who cause others so much suffering, and especially those who come together to ease it.
Margaret Renkl, The New York Times
-
The writing in this book is lyrical . . . each sentence is to be savored . . . a beautiful book that you will love.
Good Morning America
-
In this poignant novel, miracles abound . . . An engrossing read, the dark and the rain and the shabby but hopeful holiday decorations blending with the peat smoke and the love, all coming fully alive on the page. And that is something of a miracle itself.
Laurie Hertzel, Boston Globe
-
Dazzles . . . A stylistic cousin to the vernacular achievements of Kevin Barry and Roddy Doyle, but also distinctive: Williams draws on idiosyncrasies of speech but with an eye on literary gloss . . . Williams packs his paragraphs with lush imagery and piercing psychological insight. Line by line, it may be the most beautifully written novel I've read this year. Let's raise a glass of mulled wine to an Emerald Isle master at the peak of his powers.
Hamilton Cain, The Washington Post

Revelatory . . . Perhaps the most heartwarming thing of all is how the reader is welcomed into Faha's world. When I cried, it was because, with his careful and compassionate depictions of people, place and time, Williams reminds us of the humanity in all, of the vitality of a community that comes together, and of the power in revealing our vulnerabilities to others.
Jen Doll, The New York Times Book Review
