Reviews round-up
, Is "the younger sister of Willie Dunne, the volunteer in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers whose story dominated Barry's beautiful, devastating third novel, A Long Long Way (2005), about the First World War and the Easter Rising." Narrated in her old age, the story is set mainly in America, but in Barry's style "her submerged former life in Ireland resurfaces".To James Walton in the Spectator , "is a pretty trite love story with dark secrets to be revealed and lots of reflection on truth and lies and how the past lingers on and affects the present". The story of two fake mediums aboard an Atlantic cruise-liner - a "somewhat improbable" set-up - nonetheless produces a "remarkable book", though one with a "frustrating and unsatisfying" approach to character.
The Scotsman , Olivia Laing is ambiguously positive about Kennedy's style, which switches between third-person and "a seductive, occasionally overbearing second person", which "gives Kennedy room to examine the moral ambiguity of the psychic's work": her "interest seems to be what they tell us about the commonality of human loss" and "how far one person can see into another".

TE Hulme hanging Wyndham Lewis upside-down by his trouser turn-ups from the railings on Great Ormond Street".
In the Mail , Paul Carter is equally enthusiastic, but keen to mock Thomas as a man who "couldn't take a joke... The joke in question is Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken". Carter enjoys Hollis' "dry wit, deep compassion and a poet's eye for evocative detail", but is apparently not that serious about poetry.
"Now All Roads Lead To France" will be reviewed in next week's New Statesman.

Joybird, I'm glad you liked that image. It came from 1 Cor. 15:47-49, "The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[g] bear the image of the heavenly man."
