‘Inventive, funny and, ultimately, moving’

Guardian

‘Full of action and humour as its beguiling narrator takes her surreal jaunts around the capital in search of a portal to another world … The black comedy gives the book a jaunty quality that complements the dazzling trip around Dublin’

The Irish Times

‘Delightfully quirky … Vivian’s voice alone is enough to keep us reading, charmed by her unique brand of manic, word-hoarding wit’

Irish Independent

‘The book’s style calls to mind The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. Engaging and humorous’

The Dublin Inquirer

‘This urban fairy tale delivers something that is both subtle and profound in its examination of the human soul. Magically delicious’

Kirkus

‘Highly original, Lally has a unique voice as a writer’

Sunday Independent

‘A whimsical jaunt through Dublin and a modern take on many old Irish folktakes … Humorous, charming, and original’

Booklist

Totally Dublin

‘Caitriona Lally has created a character of almost maddening originality’

Wales Arts Review
