My Rating: 3.5
Orphaned as a child, Mahony returns to Mulderrig on Ireland's West Coast.in search of his mother and to know why he was given up. Despite many of them having answers, no one living or dead will tell Mahony what happened to his teenage mother all those years ago.
This is a quirky novel with beautiful writing, ghosts and magic. It is hard to capture this novel which has everything from uncomfortable violence to a lot of levity with the dead interacting with the living. While I was completely enthralled with Kidd's writing, the story was rather slow at many points throughout the book. I am glad I read it and would definitely read more by Kidd as his writing is magical.
