Michelle Lovric is devilishly clever, fiendishly comic and
generally just an irresistible novelist. I delighted in every
page
*Elizabeth Gilbert*
This is a story to sweep you up and spin you about like a mad Irish
jig. It swirls you away amid giddy torrents of language into a
fantastical, sensual, yet villainously comic world … As the
compulsive power of her narrative increasingly overcomes her
plangent mazes of her description, the reader finally realizes that
they are in the irresistible hands of a storyteller who portrays
not just her period but human nature too
*Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times*
Just love her humour and magical flamboyance
*Sainsbury’s Magazine*
Engaging and affecting in a way that will stay with you long after
the final page is turned
*Irish Examiner*
