Ordinary Human Failings Signed First Edition

As much of a compulsive read as the first novel * The Times *
One masterful novel - decades of unspeakable Irish history. Nolan has excelled herself: Ordinary Human Failings is a raw, pulsing thing, unflinching in its gaze but tender in its handling of its broken, bruised protagonists * Telegraph *
Page-turning and written with aching, compassionate insight. Each account leaves your heartstrings taut as cheese wire * Observer *
There is something wonderfully ordinary about this book... Nolan has set out to make a plain three-legged stool rather than an ornate grandfather clock. The corridors of contemporary literature are stuffed with grandfather clocks with faulty mechanisms. How much more valuable is this modest, well-made thing * Sunday Times *
A brilliant analysis of what happens when we treat horror and pain as entertainment. Nolan writes with great compassion -- Nicole Flattery, author of Nothing Special
Heartbreaking, society-examining stuff * Vogue *
Megan Nolan is one of the brightest young things around * The Times, *Summer Reads of 2023* *
This is set to be electric * Sunday Times, *Five Hot Reads for 2023* *
A fearless writer... marks a confident evolution in her writing * Bookseller *
Ordinary Human Failings is something as rare as a chilling, ice cold, bruising novel not shying from the darkest aspects of humanity, at the same time as being compassionate, aching and ultimately hopeful. I inhaled it, and its characters will stay with me for a long long time. Oh she sure can write that Nolan -- Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days
