Description "A moving portrayal of rural Irish life in the 1940s, Derrycloney is one of the finest Irish novels I have read in some time. His insight is phenomenal and the language is rich, evocative and powerful. All in all, a great book, readable, thought-provoking, moving and often very funny." Irish World
"This is a comic novel, with a strong plot and a very moving happy ending." The Irish Examiner
"[The author has a] gift for conjuring up raw and graphic images of a world that has disappeared forever." Books Ireland
