Halloran writes water better than anyone since Shirley Hazzard. I finished it on a train and could not speak to anyone for an hour.The Observer — Maeve Corrigan
A novel about the unreliability of the archive, and about what a village owes the people it drowned. Extraordinary, and quietly furious.Times Literary Supplement
Halloran has done the archivist's trick — she has made the absence of a document into the loudest thing on the page.The Irish Times — Fintan Ó Braonáin
The best English novel about memory and landscape in a decade. It will be taught.The Guardian — Book of the Month
I have read the first chapter four times now, looking for the trick. There isn't one. She simply writes like that.Daniel Okonjo — author of Fieldwork
Severe, unshowy and completely gripping. A book about paperwork that reads like a thriller.The Spectator
