—— Bookaholic Confessions

Joyous and inspiring

—— Cosy Books Blog

Her heart-warming storytelling drew me in until before I knew it I’d finished the book in a single sitting

—— Shaz’s Book Blog

It’s a heart-warming story of love and trust through good times and bad.

—— Mojomums

A dramatic, intimate chronicle of a family implosion set in unsettling times

—— Publishers' Weekly

If there is a more brilliant writer than Tóibín working today, I don't know who that would be

—— Karen Joy Fowler

This is a novel about the way the members of a family keep secrets from one another, tell lies and make mistakes.. .

—— Literary Review

Tóibín's retelling is governed by compassion and responsibility, and focuses on the horrors that led Clytemnestra to her terrible vengeance. Her sympathetic first-person narrative makes even murder, for a moment, seem reasonable (...) Tóibín's prose is precise and unadorned, the novel's moments of violence told with brutal simplicity. But its greatest achievement is as a page-turner. In a tale that has ended the same way for thousands of years, Tóibín makes us hope for a different outcome

—— The Economist

[An] intense, thought-provoking and original novel . . . Toibin's book transforms this ancient story into a lyrical, melancholy meditation on closeted desire, which implicitly comments on the aftermath of the Irish Troubles'

—— Emily Wilson , TLS

Graphic, vicious, beautiful retelling of ancient myths.... Ultimately the book is a stark, timeless and brilliantly rendered tale of power in a world, as ever, riven by conflict.

—— 'I' Newspaper

In a novel describing one of the Western world's oldest legends, in which the gods are conspicuous by their absence, Tóibín achieves a paradoxical richness of characterisation and a humanisation of the mythological, marking House Of Names as the superbly realised work of an author at the top of his game.

—— Daily Express

A spellbinding adaptation of the Clytemnestra myth, House of Names considers the Mycenaen queen in all her guises: grieving mother, seductress, ruthless leader - and victim of the ultimate betrayal.

—— Vogue

A haunting story, largely because Tóibín tells it in spare, resonant prose...

—— Lucy Hughes-Hallett , New Statesman

A Greek House of Cards... Just like Heaney at the end of his Mycenae lookout, Toibin's novel augurs an era of renewal that comes directly from the cessation of hostilities.

—— Fiona Macintosh , Irish Times

The book's mastery of pacing and tone affirm the writer as one of our finest at work today.

—— John Boland , Irish Independent

A daring, and triumphant return, to the Oresteia... bleakly beautiful twilight of the Gods.

—— Boyd Tonkin , The Arts Desk

It couldn't have been done better

—— Scotsman

A visceral reworking of Oresteia

—— Observer

The escalation of violence and desire for revenge has deliberate echoes of the Irish Troubles

—— Observer Books of the Year
