Recensioner i media

Tender, immersive and exquisitely written, Whale Harbour is the story of a family that seems borne out of both the land and the sea - one that aches with regret and thrums with longing. Mary Beth Keane finds the quiet in amongst the bustle of eleven brothers, to pore over their shared mythology and explore the loss, remorse, and fraternal bonds that follow each far into adulthood. I felt I knew the whole cast of characters intimately, as well as the landscapes they existed in - the Joyce's Connemara, Montana, and New York will remain etched in my mind. I missed this book whenever I wasn't reading it. Mary Beth Keane is one of my favourite storytellers and here, she's at her finest. I adored it
