    “Broooooo I love this book SO much. Stream of consciousness about a 19 year old gal living through the Troubles in Belfast. Masterfully wrought tension and atmosphere, a beautiful ending, dry humor that caught me off guard, just wow, I love this writer and this book so so much”

    “The voice is delightful, and the repetitive nameless narration that may be irritating to some in print acquired the sing-song fairytale and even trance-like quality that I firmly believe was intended.”
