Daoine faoi bhrú, téacsanna amú, tuirse is taibhsí, gunnaí is grá, bás agus beatha, dríodar, dlúthcheangal, teip agus fás.... Tá an gnáthshaol aoibhinn anróiteach san trí ghearrscéal déag seo, thuas seal thíos seal agus gach scéal inste go soiléir cumhachtach.

People under pressure, texts amiss, ghosts and exhaustion, love and guns, death and life, dregs, close-knit relationships, growth and failure.... The beauty and distress of life is all here in these thirteen stories - up some down some and every story told clearly and powerfully.

 

"Scríobhnóíreacht láidir, dhúshlánach ag plé le téamaí reatha atá níos láidre agus níos dúshlánaí fós. Gearrscéaalta den scoth, gach ceann acu níos fearr ná a chéile. Níl aon rian den snobaireacht mhéanaicmeacach ná den gcur i gcéill boureois le feiceáil sna scéalta seo - buíochas le Dia! Éagsúlacht ábhair agus carachtar. Na scéalta lonnaithe i suímhanna éagsúla freisin. Scéalta le spleodar agus beocht ar nós 'Lá an Dóilín', 'Cnaipí', 'Taibhsí' agus 'Gotcha'"

"Strong writing, challenging dealing with current themes that are stronger and more challenging. Superb short stories, each of them better than the other. There's no evidence of the middle class snobbery or the fake bourgeois in these stories - thanks be to God! Different themes, different locations and different characters too. Exuberant, lively stories like  'Lá an Dóilín', 'Cnaipí', 'Taibhsí' and 'Gotcha'"
