Reviews

There will be many novels which explore the effect of the crash on the people of Ireland but I can’t imagine a more original, more perceptive or more passionate work than this.’ - John Boyne ‘It is most beautifully written and plotted.Each character is so completely drawn ...What a writer!’ - Jennifer Johnston ‘Sometimes people say, having praised a debut novel, that they look forward to what the writer does next … Given a novel as brilliantly realised as The Spinning Heart ... For Donal Ryan, the future is now.’ – Declan Hughes £7.99
