'The hotel has stood in Dublin's quays since the '20s, but its glory days have long since passed it by. It's decrepit now -- the haunt of weekend-breakers and tourists who don't know any better. Most of the guests and staff we meet are escaping from something ...The joy for the reader come from the ingenuity with which each successive writer picks up the baton, teasing unforeseen consequences from events in earlier chapters. The result is always funny and often profound' John O'Connell, Time Out 'Whoever is behind the middle-aged man facing his midlife crisis, a cat-napper trying to order an acceptable meal for his yowling victim or two sisters drunkenly disinterring their past, they all share a common sense of humour.

J. Taylor, Spectator 'This is a very good work indeed ...You should check out -- or into -- Finbar's Hotel today' John Dunne, Books Ireland
