Freedom is a Land I Cannot See Reviews

A superbly crafted novel... It conveys with great skill - probably better than any history book could - the conflicting, crisscrossing, complex loyalties of so many families caught up in those high-octane, dangerous times.

-- Brian Maye * Irish Times *

A pacy plot, lyrical writing and compelling characters.

* Sunday Independent *

Timeless... A tragic story, but with enough warmth to ultimately feel life-affirming.

* Irish Independent *

A web of intrigue, love, loss and betrayal that keeps you hooked right up to the end.

* RTE Culture *

A novel with authentic atmosphere, compelling characters, flowing language and a tumultuous finish.

* The Business Post *

A masterful novel that will never leave you.

-- Julia Keller, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer

An engrossing, enlightening, beautiful novel.

-- Jennifer O'Connell, Irish Times writer

One of his best... I recommend it.

-- Former Taoiseach John Bruton * The Irish Catholic *

Elegant, supremely crafted.

-- Patrick McCabe

Cunningham's novel is lyrically tender, but grows into a forensic distillation of nationalist and religious faultlines.

-- Dermot Bolger

Freedom Is a Land I Cannot See is an intriguing, satisfying and beautiful novel about love, loss, truth and courage.

-- Ciaran Collins
