It's a magic realist murder mystery set in rural Ireland, in which the dead play as important a part as the living. Utterly unputdownable * * Sunday Express Magazine * * I love this book. It's a tender, violent and funny story told in prose that is lyrical, lush and hugely imaginative. One of the finest books of the year - SIMON MAYO Kidd's brilliantly bold debut mixes up murder and mayhem with the eerily supernatural. Kidd has imagination to die for and a real command of plot and character * * Guardian * * Very funny, very profound, very moving. Diabolical deeds, ferociously kept secrets, black humour and magical realism abound in Jess Kidd's richly textured, thronging debut.
