Peter Cunningham is a member of Aosdana, the Irish Academy of Letters."A writer of great gifts" - Barry Unsworth, Booker Prize winner"Cunningham's descriptive writing is as superb as his characterization." - Sue Leonard, Irish Examiner "... uncompromising in his commitment to the plain storytelling of old-fashioned romance and the effect is something like that of an old-fashioned movie that is apparently uncomplicated but yet becomes a classic." - John Kenny, The Irish Times " In a narrative that spans more than 60 years in the lives of its characters, Irish author Cunningham examines a Jules-and-Jim-type love affair as well as a mysterious incident from D-Day....A lovingly detailed examination of 20th-century Anglo-Irish culture as well as a dissection of personal relationships." - Kirkus
