Right, let’s be honest: this is a my trumpet and I’m going to blow it. Just this once. What Becomes Of Us has been on the shelves for a month. This picture was taken in Dubray Books, Grafton Street, where I got to demo the exclusive robotic head #bookface version.
Let the trumpet-blowing commence…
“This impressive debut marks the writer out as a talent able to tell a complex story with intelligence and humour.” (Sunday Times)
‘The novel shines with intelligence and emotional insight’ (Eilis Ni Dhuibhne)
“A thoughtful, poignant and insightful novel … there’s a hint of Binchy in McKervey’s ability to tell a complex, entertaining story with intelligence and wit” (Irish Times)
“A beautifully written account of a time when women, still subjugated, were determined to fight for their rights. It’s also a story of friendship, neighbourliness, what family really means, and where it can be found … All of the characters are superbly drawn” (Irish Examiner)
“An impressive debut … There is plenty to admire and contemplate in this enjoyable portrait of Ireland’s many-layered past” (Sunday Business Post)
“An assured debut” (RTE Guide)
“Have just finished this book. I could not put it down. I found it gripping and very moving. I was particularly impressed with the account of climbing Nelson’s Pillar having done it myself when I was eleven!” (Amazon review by Gloria Carter)
(And now, off to finish the next one…)
