What the critics say

“What other living writer could so regularly follow his own masterpieces …with another and another?” ( New York Times Book Review)
"A triumph of style and content." ( The Herald)
"Marvellously written, consummately plotted. . . . One of the joys of Love and Summer is the perfection of its Irish geography and the wealth of emotions attached to it. . . . As brief and beautiful as summer itself, it is a book to be read and reread, as perfect a thing as our blemished world can offer." ( The Globe and Mail)
