Recenzii

“[A] poignant, comprehensive portrait of Nora Barnacle as a young woman, mother, and literary inspiration for the Molly Bloom character in Ulysses. . . . Narrated in Nora’s robust voice and carried by details saturated in filth  . . . . O’Connor’s admirable accomplishment adds to the abundant Joyceana with a moving examination of an unforgettable family.” — Publishers Weekly
“This is a woman’s story of craving female friendship, tending children, and supporting a wayward wanderer while always loving—and being loved by—him.” — Kirkus Reviews
"A lively and loving paean to the indomitable Nora Barnacle." — Edna O'Brien
"An exceptional novel by one of the most brilliant contemporary Irish writers, this is a story of love in all its many seasons, from ardent sexuality to companionable tenderness, through strength, challenge, and courage. Nuala O'Connor has brought to vivid life a woman about whom every literature lover has surely wondered and has done so with immense skill and daring." — Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea and Shadowplay
“This fictional Nora is entirely convincing in her raw sensuality, her stubborn determination, her powerful sense of grievance and her inability to stop loving a deeply erratic, wildly manipulative yet enormously talented man.” — New York Times Book Review
"Lively portrait . . . O'Connor has a musical ear for language." — Vogue
"An exhaustive and often wildly engaging fictionalized biography, the full story of the Galway gal who traipsed after James as he wrote, drank, and intermittently worked his way across Europe is a tale of its own."
Boston Globe
“The Nora that leaps of these pages is at once muse, temptress, earth mother and warrior queen all rolled into one glorious package . . . O’Connor positions her protagonist centre-stage to charm readers with her winning blend of native pragmatism and vernacular wit.” — Sunday Times (London)
"A truly impressive work of biographical fiction, Nuala O’Connor pens a powerful and incisive account of the life of Nora Joyce, who despite being remembered as 'Irish literature’s greatest muse' was really a far more complex, commanding, and intriguing individual than her lasting reputation suggests." — San Francisco Book Review
“O’Connor deftly depicts the strength of Nora’s attachment to an adoring but exasperatingly unreliable man.” — Irish Times
