Thus the scene is set for Will Eaves's gloriously deft tragicomedy of our time. \u003ci\u003eNothing To Be Afraid Of\u003c\/i\u003e is both a lament for hope abandoned and innocence betrayed, and an exquisite comic pageant of Shakespearian vitality and compassion: an incidental theatrical history, across the twentieth century, of the art of pretence; of patience, trust and loyalty; of folly in youth and unforgivable old age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Tender, playful and full of beautifully observed descriptions of growing up and growing old . . . with some terrific comic set-pieces the equal of anything in Waugh and Wodehouse. Now that's good writing' \u003ci\u003e Daily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'In the case of his novel, Eaves has nothing to be afraid of. This deft, absorbing book more than confirms the promise of \u003ci\u003eThe Oversight\u003c\/i\u003e. Eaves is a master of the dark arts of city fiction. He is to be read, relished and watched very closely' \u003ci\u003eIndependent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e '\u003ci\u003eNothing To Be Afraid Of \u003c\/i\u003eprovides several coups de theatre . . . [it] is a tragicomic tale of secrets, a drowned daughter, infidelity and mistaken identity . . . It is so clever, so apt, so right that you have no option but to read the novel with its built-in encore all over again. It seems even better the second time round' \u003ci\u003e Sunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eaves, Will","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52235308892499,"sku":"9780330418751","price":12.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":48128764969299,"sku":"XG80330418751","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/eaves-will-will-eaves-nothing-to-be-afraid-of-2006-paperback-1200145946.jpg?v=1761670644","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/nothing-to-be-afraid-of-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
