Review 'A bare, lyrical story of a Dublin childhood that will rank among the very best of Irish books this year. It's not easy to make writing seem this simple. Like all good stories, it never judges itself, and so it remains open, charming, dignified, even when the subject matter drifts towards the harrowing. A really fine book, evocative of a not-so-distant past.' Colum McCann. 'Christine Dwyer Hickey's fourth novel, Tatty, beautiful and heartbreaking, confirms that her skills are perfected, and her exceptional talent is far from exhausted.'
