Five-star reviews for No Regrets by Bernard O'Keeffe
John Carey (Sunday Times chief book reviewer, ex-chair of Booker Prize)
“Read it straight off in two sittings, and was really gripped. I think it’s tremendously good – lovely use of dialogue and suppressed dialogue throughout, very humane, very sure touch with characters – especially the young ones. Gripping, heartening, a captivating read.”
John Harding (book reviewer for The Mail and The Mail on Sunday)
INGENIOUS PAGE TURNER
"I read this extremely funny and affecting book in a couple of sittings. What’s especially good is that the idea of having to accept every invitation no matter what is so well developed as a plot mechanism through the ingenious situations O’Keeffe comes up with, all completely credible."
I thoroughly recommend Bernard O’Keeffe’s novel No Regrets – funny, humane, perceptive.
Richmond Magazine
“A hilarious, rollicking ride…Give it a go. Rest assured you will have no regrets.”
