Rezensionen

There is something of Trollope's Barsetshire here, in the sense of an entire place rendered in fine detail ... Williams's phrasing is immaculate and even the smallest characters are drawn with attention and detail. But Dr Troy is the heart of this slow, rich novel. The scene in which he dances with the baby in a quiet kitchen is one of the most affecting I've read The Times

An exquisite portrayal of everyday life in the rural west Ireland of 1962 . . . Akin to Dickens in his observations, Williams' descriptions of gesture hint at his characters' interior landscapes. Kind and funny, this needs a great film director.
