'Lynch has a sensational gift ... inherited from the likes of
Cormac McCarthy, Sebastian Barry and Daniel Woodrell. He is a
writer to watch out for, staking a bid for a territory all his own'
Colum McCann.

'Classic storytelling, rough and haunted people and the times that
made them, powerfully conjured, written in language that demands
attention. Lynch is bardic, given to sly and inspired word
selections, with his own sprung rhythms and angled, stark
musicality' Daniel Woodrell.
*Daniel Woodrell*
'A compulsive read ... will attract attention for its singular
language - a combination of the poetic and the vicious - as well as
for its shocking subject matter' Irish Times.
*Irish Times*
'A compulsive read ... A combination of the poetic and the vicious.
It unabashedly uses a 21st century sensibility to subvert the
conventions of the 'historical' novel' Irish Times.
*Irish Times*
'This book makes the literary synapses spark and burn ... A signal
masterpiece' Sebastian Barry.
*Sebastian Barry*
'Lynch's startling, evocative prose veers closer to poetry ... This
novel is a wonderful achievement' Sunday Times.
*Sunday Times*
