"The Black Snow is a staggeringly beautiful book. Immensely
powerful, but subtly so. I was mesmerized by it. I read it in one
go, but I'll go back to it for sure."
--Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds and Letter Composed
During a Lull in the Fighting
"A brilliant, hypnotic book. You will lose yourself in the sounds
and rhythms-Lynch makes the page sing like the old masters."
--Philipp Meyer, author of The Son
"A haunting novel from a writer with a gift for language and
character.... Lynch has a Seamus Heaney ear for the sights and
sounds of rural life." --Kirkus Reviews
"A novel in which sentence after sentence comes so beautifully
alive in all the fullness of its diction and meaning that most
other contemporary Irish fiction looks sheepish by comparison.
Lynch's language is rough-hewn and yet beautifully lyrical....I
could scarcely read more than a few pages at a time without having
to stop and contemplate quitting the writing of fiction
myself."
--Alan Cheuse, NPR
"A stunning tale of retribution and disintegration.... at once so
starkly brutal and so beautiful that it is impossible to look
away."
-Booklist
"Lynch establishes himself as one of his generation's very finest
novelists. The Black Snow is a dark, mesmerizing study in
obsession, despair, and secrets too long held."
--Ron Rash, author of The Cove
"Lynch's beautifully intertwined emotional and physical landscapes
have a timelessness.... The story gathers momentum scene by
scene."
--Publishers Weekly
"Some of the most beautiful writing I have ever read. Vivid,
unsettling and intensely enjoyable."--Donal Ryan, Booker-nominated
author of The Spinning Heart
