While in Ireland promoting WORLD GONE BY, Dennis was presented with the Irish Diaspora Medal by Minister of State for the Diaspora Jimmy Deenihan. More after the jump!
What the critics are saying:
The Irish Mail on Sunday says, “Lehane just keeps getting better.”
The Eason Book Club calls WGB “a stunning piece of historical fiction.”
The Irish Examiner agrees, “Lehane, whose bestsellers Mystic River and Shutter Island have already been adapted for the big screen, has produced an American epic that begs to be made into a film.”
The Sunday Business Post says WGB is “sharply written, beautifully structured, compulsively engaging.”
And the Irish Times declares, “There are thrills and spills aplenty as the story unfolds, but it is in the flesh that Lehane packs onto the bones that the novel truly comes alive.”
