Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“In Colin Bateman’s first novel, Divorcing Jack, a witty Belfast newspaper columnist named Dan Starkey gets drunk, falls in lust, and finds himself helplessly mired in trouble with his wife and the law…Dan Starkey makes an entertaining guide to war-torn Northern Ireland, even while he discovers again and again that the pen is not mightier than the sword.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“What makes this tale stand out…is the wit and charm of its protagonist, a sweet-tempered cynic with a devilish sense of humor. The intricate Irish politics are gracefully rendered, and Bateman’s wry take on the gritty Belfast landscape adds an appealingly light touch.” Publishers Weekly
“Bateman’s first novel, set in and around Belfast, is a jaunty thriller, exciting and funny.” Library Journal
