"I adored He is Mine and I Have No Other . . . Amazing, heartbreaking, brilliantly done" (DONAL RYAN, author of THE SPINNING HEART and ALL WE SHALL KNOW)
"Evocative of Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding and Maura Laverty's glorious, long out of print, Never No More, Rebecca O'Connor's debut novel is vivid, authentic and compelling and may be the truest depiction of Irish rural girlhood since Edna O'Brien's Girl With Green Eyes. For that it is, and a lot more besides. What a treat it is to be introduced to such a genuine, compassionately humorous and profoundly tender voice" (PATRICK McCABE, Booker-shortlisted author of BREAKFAST ON PLUTO and THE BUTCHER BOY)
"He Is Mine and I Have No Other takes the reader on a journey through a teenage girl's heart at a time when she feels all the world's drama is centred there, while her life's biggest challenge is to learn how to recognise the pain of others. O'Connor delivers a story that is both heartfelt and daring" (SJÓN, author of THE BLUE FOX and MOONSTONE)
