Comments

"Its elegiac and measured metre makes its tragic conclusion all the more stunning."

"This elegant novel continues to surprise and beguile throughout, its magic unceasing until the stunning denouement." Patrick McCabe "This gripping novel is an act of reclamation of buried lives and a livid portrait of a young woman courageously trying to make sense of a society that contains no place for her." Dermot Bolger "Freedom Is a Land I Cannot See is an intriguing, satisfying and beautiful novel about love, loss, truth and courage." Ciarán Collins "Love, war, loyalty, rebellion, sacrifice, passion, honor, and pain: It's all here, meted out across a heartbreaking story. This is a masterful novel that like Rose will never leave you." Julia Keller
