She is an inspiration to other writers. To work so successfully and hard at this level is an incredible achievement. What the reader gets in Blue Hills, is nostalgia, good humoured historical detail, a wide range of compelling characters and a big, fascinating story...Flynn's strength lies in her ability to make the reader interested in both sets of characters while she interweaves the story strands with great skill. Her approach is cosy, complicated and shows great audience awareness. The characters are gentle, almost wistful, and the reader longs for them to find happiness. I admire Katie Flynn's grit. The writer is like the heroes and heroines of her novel: she gets on with it, and her work is gripping to the end
