More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'The novel works on many levels. As an examination of the tangled skeins of family allegiance, it is clear-headed to the point of ruthlessness. In its dissection of a fatal illness, it is both rigorous and humane. His prose ... glows with the sheen of long-polished wood. With a few deft strokes, he can paint a picture of heart-stopping vividness' (Arminta Wallace, Irish Times )
'Eloquent and haunting ... a writer with a natural feel for creating realistic atmospheres, and [with] an innate knowledge of Irish sensibilities' (Doug Johnstone, List )
'Well-crafted ... The Map of Tenderness engages richly and rather profoundly with love, death and life.' (James Smart, Sunday Herald )
'A moving portrait of a family, of discovery, and having the courage to believe in other people.' (Anne-Marie Flanagan, Irish World )
'[Wall] is a dark and sensuous stylist' (Desmond Traynor, Irish Independent )
'Gentle and elegant' (Image )
