A gifted and determined stylist, Colum McCann seems to have taken a vow never to write a dull line New York Times Book Review 'Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann' Irish Sunday Independent ______________________ An ageing nun is tracked to ground by her sister; a garrulous beautician must lay out the corpse of a loved one. These are eloquent tales of exile and displacement, of characters always in search of a way back home or of a way to leave it. Mischievous, assured and versatile, Colum McCann's collection of short stories marks him out as one of our best contemporary writers.

Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann * Irish Sunday Independent * A mesmeric find * Observer * His stories are the work of a most vivid imagination, perpetually finding new shapes and ways of examining the world * Sunday Tribune * Rich, powerful stories that place McCann at the front ranks of contemporary Irish writers * San Francisco Chronicle * Beautiful These well-made stories, written with fierce beauty, are sure of their effect and power * Washington Post Book World * There is magic in this McCann, and he brings to each page a special sorcery with the voices he conjures No one can read through and not emerge feeling changed, somehow ennobled by it * Baltimore Sun *
