Child</em></a> by Niall Williams<br /> (Bloomsbury)</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>11 Rave • 1 Postive</strong></p> <p>“Poignant … This novel is steeped in Catholicism, myth, goodness, mercy and love. It is also—lest you worry that it might be sentimental or twee—harshly realistic … Beautifully crafted sentences whipped with humor … Williams portrays his characters fully and with humor … An engrossing read, the dark and the rain and the shabby but hopeful holiday decorations blending with the peat smoke and the love, all coming fully alive on the page.
