Joseph O'Connor's Star of the Sea has been widely acclaimed
as 'a masterpiece' (Daily Mail), 'a classic' (Ireland on Sunday
- Book of the Year), or simply 'magnificent' (Independent), 'magnificent'
(Literary Review) , 'masterful' (The Times), 'marvellous' (Irish
Times), or 'memorable and moving' (Sunday Tribune). As Roddy Doyle
wrote:
'This is Joseph O'Connor's best book. It is shocking, hilarious,
beautifully written, and very, very clever.'
But in addition to the incredible press coverage, Star of the
Sea was also the runner-up for the 'Richard & Judy's Best
Read' Award - part of the British Book Awards.
