Sunday Times Magazine on THE WREN HUNT
Beautiful, eerie, dark and dreamy ... An absolutely stunning mix of myth and legend and family saga. I haven't stopped thinking about it
Melinda Salisbury on THE WREN HUNT
The tentacles of this story reach deep into Ireland's mythological past, in a haunting tale ... The story is riveting, set in a modern country town but at all times laced with reminders of more violent but intriguing times
Irish Examiner on THE WREN HUNT
There's a heady mix of the real and the magical in The Wren Hunt and I completely fell under its spell. A clever, wonderful, evocative novel, and I don't have a single, even lukewarm, criticism to make
Jill Murphy in The Bookbag on THE WREN HUNT
The Wickerlight caught me and held me captive in a woven room of its own, refusing to release me, from the mystical start to the bittersweet end. [...] It convinces the reader that maybe, just maybe, magic can bleed into their life too. The Wickerlight is perfect for a witchy night in with a steaming cup of tea (stormy background noise optional but recommended)
