Editorial Reviews
Review
'Young Lally Connaughton is trying to work out where his life went off the rails. His father has married Mam, and what's more, has moved himself and his five children to live with Mam and her four children. The story concentrates on the next decade in Lally's life - by turns side-splittingly funny and heart-breakingly sad... a delightful novel.' Grannia McFadden, Belfast Telegraph 'A gem of a novel... The ease and rich texture of Cullen's prose sing from the page.' Chris Power, The Times 'Leo Cullen has created the most memorable fictional child since at least Paddy Clarke... If Lally has to have any literary siblings it's Franl O'Connor's child narrators he's related to... In fact, Lally is out on his own... in this funny, sad, multilayed and exceptionally readable novel.' George O'Brien, Irish Times 'a heady mixture... demands shelf space alongside O'Connor and O'Faolain' Sean McMahon, Irish Independent 'I tried to remember when I had read a book as funny. I couldn't find one... With this effort alone the author has assured himself of a lasting place in comic Irish literature.' John B. Keane, Sunday Independent
