Recenzii

'The household pet, a big goldfish, chases its tail in a tiny bowl and still goes round in little circles when it's poured into the bath for a proper swim. It's like the novel's hero, a Belfast boy back in town after ten years in England - a fish out of water in both places. His family history is embedded in witty, Joycean sketches that merge into a modern history of Northern Ireland.'City Limits'Humane, wise, funny, absolutely contemporary. It is exhilarating to see such a novel stretching moment by moment, alive to what the language brings'Guardian'When Patterson succeeds, he succeeds brilliantly. No other novelist has proved as capable of capturing the heart of modern Belfast.'Sunday Tribune'A triumph. Maybe the finest novel written out of Ulster intwenty-five years.'Scotland on Sunday
