A stellar second collection: each character and action is precisely observed, each story is shot with humour and pathos. Humane and wistful, these stories – mostly set in Ireland, in County Mayo, where the author grew up – are also contain the strange and unexpected. A very powerful Irish voice, still relatively unheard.
