What readers say...
​
'Hauntingly atmospheric'
Sue Leonard, Irish Examiner
​
'The humid haze of small-town America in high summer is brilliantly wrought here'
Irish Independent
​
'An impressive debut, establishing its author as someone with a keen eye for emotional detail and luscious scene-setting. Hurtubise's coming of age tale balances the tension of the trouble brewing in this community with the vulnerability, joy and pain of growing up'
Emma Flynn, The Irish Times
'...this is a tale that lingers'
Sophie Grenham, The Sunday Times
​
