A breathtaking affirmation of miracles and the power of human love The Times A joy, an acutely evocative and sexual story ... my God I couldn't put it down -- Marianne Faithfull A lyrical and passionate novel shot through with the belief in divine order versus chaos; the belief in destiny and the demonic fight against it, and, in spite of all the evidence that life is cruel and arbitrary, the presence of the supernatural and the manifestation of miracles Observer This book can rightly claim its place among the classics of Irish literature. A wonderfully affecting love story Belfast Telegraph A delicate and graceful love story that is also an exaltation of love itself ... a luminously written, magical work of fiction ... Extraordinarily rooted in the Irish language and landscape ... Yet in its serious fancifulness, its feverish intensities, Four Letters of Love also gives us Niall Williams's own Ireland, a place devoted to the belief in miracles and the obsessive power of love New York Times
