Review

Praise for Jennifer Johnston's previous novel, Foolish Mortals: 'A complex, wry domestic drama; a writer of the highest order' -- Sunday Telegraph 'The writing is witty and subtly nuanced and the book is as much about the new Ireland - modern, forward-looking, practical and tolerant - as about the individual characters' -- Daily Mail 'Johnston is one of the most revered Irish writers, and this, her fifteenth novel, makes us understand why. Her style is simple and colloquial...there are no literary pretensions: story and characters take priority...Foolish Mortals is essentially an uplifting read' -- Time Out - Book of the Week Despite an impressive body of work, which extends to plays for the stage and radio, she remains relatively little known and is often described as the most underrated of Irish authors. She has the power if a quiet talent...her authorial voice is restrained and it is her dialogue which dominates the narrative...Foolish Morals gives us a few glimpses of New Ireland, and Johnston's view of it is bleak, but not without hope' -- TLS
