Rezensionen

Alan Murrin writes with the calm, poetic fluency of the best of Irish writers. The Coast Road is set in Donegal the year before divorce became legal in Ireland, and the many themes are equally - sadly - as relevant now. Women's autonomy is beautifully scrutinised in a shifting tempo that moves between rage, forgiveness and hope. It's a stonkingly good novel. Just read it Sarah Winman, bestselling author of STILL LIFE

Beautifully written ... The novel is wonderful on what it means to live in a patriarchal society and the consequences women can suffer for trying to follow their dreams. Compelling Daily Mail

A compelling snapshot of one conservative Catholic community ahead of a landmark change to domestic life ... Murrin is an astute and sensitive writer ... in Murrin's capable hands, it's a story that will make you think – not least about the slow pace of change in Catholic Ireland
