Anmeldelser
«This is a mystical and, at times, comforting novel, which explores the beauty of nature, and the loss and death that come hand in hand with it.»
Lasairíona Scarff, Paper Lanterns
«The prose is as beautiful as it is visual. Perhaps this is because so much of the shared knowledge isn’t retrieved from books. It’s from experiencing an environment first-hand.»
Daniel Seery, Dublin Inquirer
«Wonderful and beautifully written.»
John Boorman
«
We are lulled by the beauty and serenity of the river as much as by crystalline prose and singular focus
» Alan Gilsenan
«[Murphy's] lush, evocative, explorations gently lead us along in his pursuit as we encounter dabbling mallards, flitting wagtails, bobbing dippers, single-parent woodpeckers and countless other creatures. This gentle breeze of curiosity is ideally aligned with these contemplative, slow-flow, times.»
