Review

Simply put, Claire Keegan is one of the greatest fiction writers in the world. -- George Saunders

Every line seems to be a lesson in the perfect deployment of both style and emotion. -- Hilary Mantel

Amongst the greatest practitioners of the short story form -- Joseph O'Connor

The beautifully crafted stories are like chilling, adult versions of fairy tales - albeit with echoes of Raymond Carver and William Trevor. ―
Sunday Telegraph

Keegan has a remarkably poetic vision and she treats hurt and laughter, love and hate, with the same calm, almost ethereal style. ―
Sunday Tribute

An exciting first book of deliberate, contemplative short stories. ―
Observer

Keegan writes with such grace and accuracy that it is impossible not to be drawn into each world she creates. ―
Big Issue

A writer already touched by greatness. -- Declan Kiberd

A genuine one-in-a-generation writer. ―
The Times
