Reviews

[Mr. Hardie]

It is the small details that make this book such a fascinating read. Often times, O’Connor includes anecdotes that make the characters seem more than characters from a not too distant history, but highlight them in the mind through their personal interactions with each other and with those around them. If you are a fan of any of the authors of the Irish Renaissance, this is a must read.

[Cliff]

This is the most beautifully written non-fiction book I've ever read. The Irish should be proud to call Ulick O'Connor their own.
