Reviews

A gripping novel about two women, about their desires and frustrations, about the wars they find themselves fighting, whether on the ground or in their minds. Jacqueline O'Mahony writes brilliantly of what it is like to be in trouble, to be uncertain and alone, and to have to confront hard realities. Compassionate yet unsentimental, sharply insightful yet steeped in story, this debut is a thrill to discover. A fierce, beautifully told story, which keeps the reader gripped until the very last page. Jacqueline O'Mahony is one to watch.
