A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Himself is a sort of Under Milk Wood meets The Third Policeman meets Agatha Christie. It's a highly unusual tale set in a highly unusual Irish village full of dark secrets and engaging characters (not all of them still alive). Lushly imagined, delightfully original and very, very funny, it hurtles along from the very first page. A hugely enjoyable read. I can't wait for more from Jess Kidd" (ML STEDMAN, author of The Light Between Oceans) --Reviews

"Jess Kidd is a genius. Her prose sparkles with wit, savagery and startling originality. I loved it" (TASHA KAVANAGH, author of Things We Have In Common) --Reviews

"Beautiful, haunting and veined with wicked wit, Himself is a mystery you want to tear through, written in prose you want to savour" (SIMON WROE, author of Chop Chop) --Reviews
