A thriller in a small village
5 stars
Best book I've read in a long time. Lots of fantastic sentences which are funny, descriptive and very evocative of Ireland in the sixties.

I LOVED this book. Williams is such a beautiful writer who makes me laugh at his wonderful turns of phrase. Every one of his everyday characters are totally relatable.

Beautifully written. Lovely story. Enjoyed it very much. Can’t wait to read William’S “This is Happiness” next. Set in a small Irish town, it’s a story about individuals and community and community relationship. Gorgeous writing.
