Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-08 00:00:00 Johnny Hollingsworth Frank O'Connor is utterly dependable, and that does not mean that he is predictable and narrow. His stories sometimes are moral tales or parables, as happens in "Expectation of Life" and "The Pariah." They always have well-drawn characters in well-crafted scenes and plots. He knows his people well in all their deviousness, pettiness, fear, humour, affection, everything that goes to make up full lives. O'Connor is one of Ireland's greatest short story writers.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-18 00:00:00 Shameek Steele Odd to read stories from decades ago, from a world so different from the one I live now in... when the stories are on the same streets that I saw daily (when I read this book), from around Cork. I liked these stories. Ireland and people have changed so much though...
