Reviews

LONGLISTED FOR THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE

‘Every devotee of literature and art should read this rare, bright-lit, hard-won book, and every student of life — that is to say, everyone.' SEBASTIAN BARRY
'A beautifully written memoir and meditation on grief, nature and the creative process.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
'Embodies the same thoughtful originality and striking close ups of the natural world as her two novels.' IRISH INDEPENDENT
'Beautiful... could be compared with Denise Riley’s Time Lived, Without Its Flow in how beautifully rendered the passing of days is – or with Maggie Nelson’s Bluets, in how delicately the poetry of the work is presented on the page.' IRISH TIMES
'Its pint-sized print edition is itself an objet d’art.' THE TIMES
'handiwork demands to be experienced and felt. It is no less than Baume's will, her pains, her talents, her tenderness.' RTE.
