Recensioner i media

'A violent, superbly lyrical Western offering a sweeping vision of America in the making [and] the most fascinating line-by-line first person narration I've come across in years.' - Kazuo Ishiguro on DAYS WITHOUT END'Nobody writes like, nobody takes lyrical risks like, nobody pushes the language, and the heart, and the two together, quite like Sebastian Barry does, so that you come out of whatever he writes like you've been away, in another climate.' - Ali Smith
