Format:Paperback
This novel has the quirkiness of Anne Tyler with the wit of Edna O'Brien. It is a beautiful book, chronicling the precarious relationship of a wild and passionate Irish woman and her more anally retentive husband. Francis writes with a fierce and funny intelligence and creates a character who can make you laugh and cry within the same sentence. This is a terrific debut novel, and I can't wait for her next.
Format:Paperback
This first outing by Sarah Francis is full of the promise of greater things to come. Her protagonists are quirky in their actions and acceptance of other's actions in ways that seem entirely believable. Odd fish and Englishmen is an original tale imbued with the character and ambience of Ireland trying to find its space in the contrasting life of England. Highly recommended read.
