Reviews

It is rare to discover a book that is simultaneously beautiful and devastating, where characters are frightening to behold but also worthy of compassion. --Simon Van Booy, author of Night Came with Many Stars The Voids is a wild, magical, and magnetically mad picaresque ... it had me bellowing with laughter on one page and needing to weep on the next. I tore through it, and it through me. A brilliant debut. --Niall Griffiths, author of Sheepshagger and Broken Ghost Reading The Voids is a sensory experience. There is never a word too much, it never lingers. There is tragedy but no melodrama. O'Connor's lightness of touch, the pace, economy, characters... are all perfect, all harmonious, poetic, but unadorned, even in the blackest of moments. Part of me is still in that high rise or watching the sunlight through the fire exit door at The Satellite. It is beautiful and perfect. I want to say this is a book God would like. --Paul Buchanan, The Blue Nile
