This powerful and poignant novel provides John B. Keane with a passport to the highest levels of Irish literature.-Irish Press.

""Told with a vigour and vivacity which keep the attention riveted.""-The Irish Times. ""Sly, funny, heart-rending... Keane writes lyrically; recommended.""-Library Journal. ""A riveting read.""-Belfast Telegraph. ""The Bodhran Makers is a tale that goes straight to the heart - the heart of the reader as well as the heart of the matter.
Keane gets beneath the skin of Irish culture, past and present, and provides a view tourists will never see""-Bloomsbury Review.
