Falling Animals (2023)
Sheila Armstrong
"An exceptional debut novel. Profoundly moving, her ability to write community is utterly singular. Her voice sings, using perfect sentences to create unforgettable characters and landscapes, with a structure so deft it is breath taking. I could not put it down and I will encourage everyone I meet to pick it up. Her short stories are incredible and this novel confirms her as one of the most interesting and stellar voices in the Irish literary scene. Falling Animals is a masterpiece."
