REVIEWS
'A work of great scholarship, but which is simultaneously a page-turner. It's a story of Brigids and Bridgets, of Bridies and Biddies, of Brides and Bredas, and it entertained me from start to finish. It's a triumph.' Pat Kenny, Newstalk
'Colm and Una are the only writers who can get me reading about the lives of the saints. They bring Brigid to life with their customary colour, great anecdotes, and give context to her extraordinary life.' Brendan O'Connor, RTÉ Radio 1
