Reviews

[Liam Malone · Rating 4 out of 5]

As this is only her second volume it seems a little raw, but having read all her works when I reread this today, I could see where her voice and style started. She taught Irish lit to our small class of US students in Spring 1987. So to this day when I read her I hear her voice reading the words to me and I like that.
