“[The Headscarf] Revolutionaries seemed to be the hot fuse of Hull's City of Culture year with its Ibsen-esque heroines inspiring street paintings, stage plays and TV documentaries. The Luckiest Thirteen takes us back even earlier to Christmas 1966 and the story of St Finbarr." https://t.co/VxRlorb1nM
“Prose superior to film in capturing brief, confusing, life-or-death situations. This meticulously researched history moves along with the pace of a novel, recreating a world where the tragedy would go unreported for hours because newspapers and even TV news shut down for Xmas." https://t.co/VxRlorb1nM
