The Great Wall of Ballygall

Fiction

“Seamus Boshell’s The Great Wall of Ballygall is pure music and magic, a reader’s delight. My god, the writing! Lucid and lyrical, amusing and wise, not a word out of place. What do they call it? Perfect pitch? Well, if a book can have it, this one does. And what a story our charming narrator, Finn McCormack, tells us: comedic and insightful, tender and stoic. A tale of love and mad dreams, family and land. A glorious piece of literature and a profound work of the imagination. Bravo, Seamus Boshell!!”
