"Barry’s prose is overwhelmingly poetic, its lyricism yielding a seamlessly endless series of potent and moving images…but the narrative’s dreamlike qualities do not eclipse Barry’s determination to scrutinise the less travelled byways of history and to give voice to their buffeted but nonetheless enduring victims", Alex Clark, The Guardian.
"Remarkable facility for metaphor and simile…On Canaan’s Side can be celebrated for the beauty, wisdom and pleasure it provides". Adam O’Riordan, The Sunday Telegraph.
“"ith his extraordinary talent for condensing the tangential sorrows and solaces of a life, Barry continues to unpick the threads of Irish history…His Empathy is his most valuable gift". Lucy Daniels, The Telegraph
