Candid dispatches, defined by unease, from a changing Europe

BALANCING its outward perspective with an interrogatory approach to the secrets hidden in the human heart and mind, the 15 stories of Aiden O’Reilly’s very fine debut offer the reader a series of candid dispatches from a changing Europe. It is a volume defined by a sense of unease. The characters here are
stateless not simply in their wanderings but in their unsettled mentalities.
