Reviews
'There is much to admire, not least the lyrical writing, which at times creates a dream-like atmosphere ...

Derek Hand, The Irish Times

Excerpts
For breakfast we met a girl who did not introduce herself. There was a sickening smell of hot, dead fat. I fled outside. A group of born-again Christians were singing in the garden next door. Back in the kitchen the girl was now wiping the remains of her breakfast from her face with the back of her hand.
