Such a beautiful book. Irish fiction is in its element right now. I cannot believe this is the author's debut. She writes with the lyricism and flourish of authors with decades of experience under their belts.

It's so interesting to read something so poignant set in the place you live. Fitzsimons managed to really romanticise the North even among the backdrop of the Troubles.
