A Story of Ancient Authenticity that has a Central Drive and Pace

“Seoid na Bliana … Is fada ó bhain mé an oiread pléisiúir as aon phrós Gaeilge a scríobhadh le ceathracha bliain. Rithim, ceol agus comhfhuaim fite le simplíocht, nádúr agus deilbh na Gaeilge ina gcúlra sciamhach ag scéal lán eachtraí, gliceas, dea-chaint, daonnacht agus draíocht.” Máire Ní Fhinneadha, tuairisc.ie

“The author finds the language and rhythms to give the modern language a feeling of ancient authenticity while shaping a story that has a central drive and pace.” —Cathal Póirtéir, Books Ireland.
