Praise for GHOST LIGHT
' ... remarkable, radiant and captivating novel ... On top of the biographical information concerning these two, Synge and his Molly, Joseph O'Connor has imposed a fictional overlay, and makes a vivid performance of it ... O'Connor's novel carries all the pungency and resonance of a particular era of the past.' -- The Independent
'Engrossing stuff ... Within a specific political and historic context, O'Connor has fashioned the delicate bloom of a love story ... O'Connor has been able to pick and choose the emphasis and style of his presentation, fleshing out his own drama on the skeleton of what is known or imagined of Synge's affair with Molly. Their month's dalliance in a Wicklow cottage ... is a detour from fact that dramatically reveals the emotional heart of this tender novel ... Beautifully written and charming ...' -- The Independent on Sunday
