'Not only hilarious but also terribly tragic and awful and human and wonderful… No Bones is the best book I've read for ages. The world Burns creates is utterly convincing and surreal at the same time. I love the writing, the way she rolls the words around… No Bones is absolutely fantastic, and explores really exciting territory… the tone and timbre of the novel feel quite different to anything I've read before.' Julia Darling'A chilling recognition that most survived the Troubles intact but some people will never be the same again…This account of a girl's life growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, which examines madness and sanity and questions our interpretation of both, is scary. Scarily well written, too… No Bones tears chunks out of our Peace Process comfort blankets. For it questions how a peaceful, mundane existence can be superimposed on a society inured over decades to violence.' Martina Devlin, Irish Independent‘Not only hilarious but also terribly tragic and awful and human and wonderful … No Bones is absolutely fantastic, quite different from anything I’ve read before’ Julia Darling, author of Crocodile Tears
