Book Review: There's much to admire about Órfhlaith Foyle's Three Houses in Rome

"The collection is unsettling, full of dark tales, composed in beautiful prose. Most of her central characters and narrators are lonely, isolated."

This drawing by a prisoner shows Gurs (southern France) concentration camp. The drawing is shown at the exhibition on the French concentration camp taking place at the Resistance Museum in Toulouse until 24 December. More than 60000 people were imprisoned in the camp between 1939 and 1944. Pic: AFP/Getty.
