Reviews:
"O'Flaherty is the most heroic of Irish novelists, the one who has always tackled big themes, and in one case, in this great novel, succeeded in writing something imperishable...Mary Kilmartin (the heroine) has been singled out by two generations of critics as one of the greatest creations of modern literature, And so she is."
