Review:
I devoured this book ... Line by line, Paraic's writing contains some of the most beautifully turned phrasing I've read in a long while * Laura Barnett, author of VERSIONS OF US, on THE MAKER OF SWANS * Compulsive reading . . . rich, strange, beautiful * Helen Macdonald, author of H IS FOR HAWK on THE MAKER OF SWANS * Enthralling ... a literary feast * Stylist on THE MAKER OF SWANS * Lavishly entertaining, strange and captivating * INDEPENDENT on THE MAKER OF SWANS * A page-turner in the very best sense of the term ... a deeply pleasurable gothic fantasy * Financial Times on THE MAKER OF SWANS * Truly bewitching * David Mitchell on THE MAKER OF SWANS * The prose in O'Donnell's first novel is glorious, combining an ear for deep cadences of language with a phenomenal acuity of vision ... O'Donnell is clearly a major talent * GUARDIAN on THE MAKER OF SWANS * Rarely does a writer stop you so fully in your tracks * Sunday Independent on THE MAKER OF SWANS *
