THE YELLOW HOUSE'a eleştirmenlerden gelen övgüler
“THE YELLOW HOUSE is that great rarity, a book about Ireland written by an American who knows what she’s talking about. Intelligently plotted, with engaging characters, the novel offers a fresh view of the highly dramatic Revolutionary Period in Ireland. The well-researched history illumines but never smothers the storyline. Small details bring the era to life with stunning clarity. The writing is lucid and accessible, occasionally even lyrical. This is a very rewarding first novel and I look forward to reading more from Patricia Falvey.”
—Morgan Llywelyn, author of Lion of Ireland, Pride of Lions, Grania, The Last Prince of Ireland,
and The Irish Century series
"THE YELLOW HOUSE is an eloquently written story of the emergence of hope and love in a time of struggle and confusion in Ireland. It avoids the ever-present pitfalls of drowning us in a history lesson while not ignoring the richness of that very history. With her debut novel, Patricia Falvey breathes life back into an Ireland that has nearly vanished from memory. For that, I am grateful."
—Robert Hicks, New York Times bestselling author of The Widow of the South and A Separate Country
“The early scenes of Eileen’s and James’ lawless exploits for the Catholic resistance make for thrilling reading…her research is flawless, and she perfectly balances the fictional story with the real-life characters and events that populate it. She also staunchly declines to make easy division between the good guys and bad guys, instead trusting the reader to appreciate the complexities born of neighbor turned against neighbor and brother against sister.”
—Dallas Morning News
“Falvey brilliantly illustrates the cultural, political, and economic conflicts that result in erecting Ireland’s North/South dividing border. The well-researched history of the period emerges through the characters, their conflicts, and their choices. The story is absorbing and satisfying historical fiction.”
—San Francisco/Sacramento Book Review
“You can often tell where a book’s plot and characters are going. But so many times I was astonished to find that what I expected on the next page was a complete surprise to me. Falvey held my attention with suspenseful events that constantly amazed me….THE YELLOW HOUSE is a powerful book, full of strongly drawn characters that exemplify vitality, humanity and passion for life. They are so realistic, that early on I felt like I knew them.”
—Frank West, Irish American News
“This novel delivers the best of both worlds: secrets, intrigue and surprising twists will keep readers flipping the pages, while Falvey's insight and poetic writing tugs at the heartstrings of the most cynical audiences.”
—Publishers Weekly on THE YELLOW HOUSE
“THE YELLOW HOUSE was extremely interesting from an educational perspective. It brings to life the struggles of individuals and communities seeking freedom.”
—Cecie O'Bryon England, The Washington Times
“Falvey tells a good story along the way. A host of interesting characters, surprising but plausible plot developments, and deftly incorporated details of the Irish struggle for Independence add up to a debut novel sure to please fans of historical romance.”
—Kathy Piehl, Library Journal
