Reviews

I simply love Elaine Feeney's writing. Let Me Go Mad In My Own Way is proof, if any was needed, that she is one of the finest writers of her generation. This book moves effortlessly through humour, tragedy and devastation with great formal inventiveness. It is a brilliant exploration of how violence, oppression and hatred, both personal and political, can warp and overshadow a life. This is a hugely ambitious novel wrought with Feeney’s trademark lyricism and emotional intelligence ... Feeney will break your heart with her characters but she will also lovingly put it back together again.
