Critical Praise

"An engaging and moving exploration of love: mother-love, romantic love, love of country....Away is a melancholy Irish ballad sung on foreign soil, its words and music all the sweeter for being heard so far away from home."

——The Washington Post Book World

"A vividly drawn and richly textured saga that follows the lives of three generations of women . . . Enchanting and highly imaginative."

——New York Newsday
