An ageing nun is tracked to ground by her sister; a garrulous beautician must lay out the corpse of a loved one. These are eloquent tales of exile and displacement, of characters always in search of a way back home or of a way to leave it. Mischievous, assured and versatile, Colum McCann' s collection of short stories marks him out as one of our best contemporary writers.
Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann * Irish Sunday Independent * A mesmeric find * Observer * His stories are the work of a most vivid imagination, perpetually finding new shapes and ways of examining the world * Sunday Tribune * Rich, powerful stories that place McCann at the front ranks of contemporary Irish writers * San Francisco Chronicle * Beautiful . . . These well-made stories, written with fierce beauty, are sure of their effect and power * Washington Post Book World * There is magic in this McCann, and he brings to each page a special sorcery with the voices he conjures . . . No one can read through and not emerge feeling changed, somehow ennobled by it * Baltimore Sun *
