Rezensionen

"As her study, Women and Exile in Contemporary Irish Fiction, amply shows, women are no longer marginal characters but protagonists who provide rich commentary on emigration-related social concerns including reproductive rights, censorship, religious and class identities, whiteness, and belonging. ... The book is engagingly written and constitutes a compelling and important contribution to contemporary Irish literary criticism." (Katrin Urschel, Canadian Journal of Irish Studies, Vol. 39 (2), 2016)
