 Reviews

“…. An acutely serious contribution to the literature of immigration in our times.”

— James Silas Rogers, Author,  Irish-American Autobiography

“Áine Greaney’s deft, subtle, and deceptively quiet essays lead from the every day incident to the heart-breaking but never sentimental examination of the nexus of identity and “home.””

— Sandra Hunter, Author, Trip Wires

“… The book’s greatest strength is Greaney’s voice itself: heartfelt, honest and intimate; the essays read like a conversation with an old friend.”

— Merrimack Valley Magazine

“… A must read — we need more of these voices to educate us about immigrant experiences …”

— Savvy Verse & Wit

“These are beautiful essays: short, intense, emotionally precise, moving.”
