July, July

'A great book from one of America's greatest writers. "July, July" is beautifully written, very moving and very, very funny. It is also packed with some of the best characters I've read in a long time.' Roddy Doyle

'The Class of '69 revisit their pasts and contemplate the thwarted dreams of the Sixties generation. Savage and funny.' Sunday Express

'A feast - the rare kind that leaves you satisfied rather than stuffed. A book whose main delight is one of constant surprise in word and deed. Playful and profound...nightmarishly funny.' Glasgow Herald

'O'Brien's characters are instantly recognisable. Psychologically acute...he writes piercingly about relationships, particularly the ones that don't work.' Irish Times

'A great novel. So much human truth in so few words...the very definition of fine writing.' Esquire

'A book for all seasons. Funny and poignant, it looks into the nature of our dreams and how fulfilment eludes us.' Edna O'Brien
