I had the privilege of meeting Caoilinn at the Oneworld showcase event in London last week, so I have my early review copy signed and dedicated.
Having never read any of Caoilnn’s work before I really had no idea what to expect, I had been told dark and funny. So with a little trepidation I started this yesterday and finished it last night before going to sleep, I simply couldn’t have left it overnight unfinished.
I really loved the writing and possibly more so because I could hear it told. thanks to meeting her, in her own voice, which just made me smile even more as I read it.
So in conclusion, yes I would definitely recommend it, perhaps to fans of Anna Burn’s Milkman and Jenny McCartney’s The Ghost Factory, both of which I loved.
I did find it a funny read and it is slightly dark humour, particularly loved Father Shaughnessy.
Happy to recommend on to others.
