Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams is a natural storyteller.

– Irish Echo

He writes convincingly and with compassion...The warmth of Adams' writing comes from the affection of a man for the remembered things of the past.

– Times Literary Supplement

Adams has a lively style, and the vernacular of West Belfast rings true...The book provides an insight into a side of life often only glimpsed—and provides a challenging perspective.

– The Belfast Telegraph
