‘A gifted and determined stylist, Colum McCann seems to have taken a vow never to write a dull line’ New York Times Book Review
'Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann' Irish Sunday Independent
______________________
An ageing nun is tracked to ground by her sister; a garrulous beautician must lay out the corpse of a loved one.
These are eloquent tales of exile and displacement, of characters always in search of a way back home or of a way to leave it. Mischievous, assured and versatile, Colum McCann's collection of short stories marks him out as one of our best contemporary writers.©1993 Colum McCann (P)2021 Penguin Random House LLC

Critic Reviews
Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann
A mesmeric find
His stories are the work of a most vivid imagination, perpetually finding new shapes and ways of examining the world
Rich, powerful stories that place McCann at the front ranks of contemporary Irish writers
Beautiful … These well-made stories, written with fierce beauty, are sure of their effect and power
There is magic in this McCann, and he brings to each page a special sorcery with the voices he conjures … No one can read through and not emerge feeling changed, somehow ennobled by it
