‘I opened it up one evening and was instantly captivated... I defy anyone not to be drawn in by a loyal sheepdog, a vagrant bird, a terrifying cliff and a dysfunctional family...! The atmosphere is haunting; the imagery so powerful that it gave me strange dreams. This novel is a little bit uncanny and a little bit archaic but also incredibly contemporary and prescient... I loved it’ Sara Baume

'Touching and insightful, O'Regan has penned a tender debut novel about one man's struggle to save the many broken souls, including his own, on Kerry Head' Anne Griffin

'Written with tenderness and a starkly beautiful sense of place, Though the Bodies Fall grapples fearlessly with the most profound questions: what is the worth of a human life? What does it cost to be endlessly in service to others? Where is the line between devotion and obsession? A dark dream of a novel that holds you in its grip till the very last line' Eimear Ryan
