SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024AN IRISH TIMES BEST IRISH BOOK OF THE 21ST CENTURY THE TIMES NOVEL OF THE YEARAnd a Guardian, FT, Economist, Irish Times, Daily Telegraph, New Statesman, Irish Independent and Independent Book of the Year I could not put it down. ANNE ENRIGHTIts very moving, also very funny. PAUL MURRAYMy favourite book Ive read this year. PANDORA SYKESI lived and breathed beside her narrator. DAISY JOHNSONIn her wildly acclaimed new novel Claire Kilroy creates an unforgettable heroine, whose fierce love for her young son clashes with the seismic change to her own identity.As her marriage strains and she struggles with questions of love, autonomy, creativity and the passing of time, an old friend makes a welcome return but can he really offer a lifeline to the woman she used to be?Readers adore Soldier Sailor About as perfect a piece of writing as youll find. Unbearably tense and frequently hilarious. An entirely different voltage to anything Ive read ... she somehow manages to verbalise exactly the feelings and thoughts I, certainly, had at points when I was a young mother This story touched me on such a visceral level. I was held captive by this novel ... an utterly absorbing depiction of motherhood I loved this book. Any woman, with or without children, will see themselves mirrored in this narrative An excellent, interesting and rather unforgettable creation.
