Reviews"I am such a fan of Niall Williams." -- Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of TOM LAKE "On the surface, Time of the Child by Niall Williams is an elegiac portrait of life in an Irish village in the Christmas season of 1962. But it is so much more than that. Somehow, by laying bare the inner lives of these decent country people, my own life feels so much richer for having read it. I was deeply moved by this novel." -- Mary Beth Keane, New York Times Bestselling Author of ASK AGAIN, YES and THE HALF MOON "A powerful pleasure to find myself back in Faha where the prose is luminous, the people irresistible, the stories mesmerizing, and it never stops raining." -- Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves and Booth "Oh, the utter goosebumpy pleasure of reading this book! The experience will fill you up, even if you didn't know there was an emptiness there to begin with. Niall Williams reminds us again and again that the small and the ordinary are married to amazement, that dailiness and miracles walk hand in hand, and that other people are a mystery: Approach with curiosity! Approach with grace." -- Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS and SANDWICH "With writing so stunning, Time of The Child forces the reader to turn down page after page to always remember what genius is. Another glorious and touching novel from Niall Williams, one of the world's greatest storytellers." -- Anne Griffin, internationally bestselling author of WHEN ALL IS SAID "There is so much to admire in Niall Williams new novel-the lyrical language, how landscape and destiny intertwine, the complex bonds of community-but what impresses most is how vividly he enters the innermost thoughts of his characters, thus revealing their seemingly quiet existences brim with the profoundest questionings of how we should live our lives. Time of the Child is a triumph." -- Ron Rash, author of SERENA and THE CARETAKER "Niall Williams is one of Ireland's greatest storytellers, and Time of the Child is his finest, and most compelling work to date." -- Simon Van Booy, author of SIPSWORTH "A Christmas miracle lies at the heart of this tender offering . . . Williams works up to the miraculous event with steady pacing, breathing life into the characters and crafting a memorable sense of place. For those looking to get into the holiday spirit, this is just the ticket." -- Publishers Weekly "Comic and poignant in equal measure." -- The New Yorker on THIS IS HAPPINESS "Escaping into the pages of This Is Happiness feels as much like time travel as enlightenment. Halfway through, I realized that if I didn't stop underlining passages, the whole book would be underlined . . . Williams is engaged in the careful labor of teaching us to hear the subtler melodies drowned out by the din of modern life . . . This is a story about the beginnings of love and the persistence of affection, about the loss of faith and the recovering of belief. If you're a reader of a certain frame of mind, craving a novel of delicate wit laced with rare wisdom, this, truly, is happiness." -- Washington Post, "50 Notable Works of Fiction" on THIS IS HAPPINESS "This big-hearted story is an intimate study of a small place on the brink of change." -- New York Times on THIS IS HAPPINESS "Williams . . . is a master of Irish storytelling, crafting sentences that tempt the reader to double back and read again - and characters that get under your skin." -- The Associated Press "Exploring possibility with a generous and intimate spirit, Williams invokes an ode to love." -- Booklist, Starred Review, "I am such a fan of Niall Williams." -- Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of TOM LAKE "On the surface, Time of the Child by Niall Williams is an elegiac portrait of life in an Irish village in the Christmas season of 1962.
