Reviews

'Arja Kajermo's 'The Iron Age', about a grim childhood in postwar Finland is so bleakly funny that it makes Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes seem idyllic.' The Irish Times 'Full of hardships and puzzlement and dark humours. A memorable chronicle of a family's struggle during a less well-known period in history.' Anne Enright, Yiyum Lee and Jon McGregor, judges of the 2014 Davy Byrnes Award
