A proposito di questo titolo
'An extraordinary novel, a poetic writer, and a story that moved me to tears.' John Boyne
'I'm here to remember - all that I have been and all that I will never be again.'
At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual - though tonight is anything but. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally ready to tell his story.
Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice - the life of one man will be powerfully and poignantly laid bare.
Heart-breaking and heart-warming all at once, the voice of Maurice Hannigan will stay with you long after all is said.

Recensioni della critica
[An] impressively confident debut ... Maurice Hannigan emerges as an engaging, compassionate creation
Anne Griffin's debut novel is a must read. Beautifully observed, masterful story telling - stunning! (Graham Norton)
Griffin is a magical storyteller whose prose is effortless and clear. She conjures an intimate, poignant and ultimately enthralling portrait of a man who has battled loneliness and other demons throughout his life. Maurice is superbly well-realised: a character who tries to make amends and, in so doing, cracked my heart. (Fanny Blake)
A book to savour, and pass on. An absolute joy
A hugely enjoyable, engrossing novel, a genuine page-turner. (Donal Ryan)
Maurice Hannigan is a wonderful invention, whose bitter-sweet meditations will stay long in the reader's mind. Anne Griffin has fashioned a rare jewel. (John Banville)
This is how you tell a story (Cecelia Ahern)
[Anne Griffin] builds a remarkably rich sense of place, while also tracing the wider changes affecting Ireland. ...Maurice is a lovingly rendered example of the current vogue for characters who have fallen through the cracks
Beautifully written, unhurried and thoughtful, and a character you love from the off. (Kit de Waal)
As candid a portrait of human frailty as you're likely to find. Griffin is uncannily accurate in her depiction of that peculiarly Irish emotional paralysis we're all familiar with.
Pitch-perfect prose ... Moving and beautifully written, this is a wonderfully assured debut.
A proper tear-jerker, but one that will ultimately leave you feeling hopeful
A warm and wise treasure of a book with a character whose voice draws you in from the start
A rich and moving story, a poetic voice and unforgettable character in Maurice
It's all beautifully done; a tale told in the plain but poetic prose of a man who recognises the tragic truths gleaned from a life of love and loss. A gem of a book
This could be one of the big book hits of 2019
An atmospheric debut ... The most impressive aspects of this first novel are its rich, flowing prose, its convincing voice and its imaginative and clever structure ... Griffin is a welcome arrival to the literary scene
Griffin's strength is in voice and in the rhythm of her prose ... She is excellent at interrogating the complexity of Maurice's barriers
A rich, fluid debut novel
A heartfelt and impressive debut novel
Poetic and touching without being sentimental, When All Is Said by Anne Griffin is something special.
An emotional yet uplifting novel - we defy you not to fall in love with Maurice Hannigan and his heart-warming story.
Will stay with you long after you close the cover
Beautifully written, this is a feast of Irish storytelling
A powerful page-turner ... wonderfully poetic, atmospheric and moving. (Dierdre O'Brien)
