Praise for THIS IS HOW IT ENDS:
"I was moved by This Is How It Ends, a tender-but never sentimental-story of unlikely love. With great wit and humor, Kathleen MacMahon skillfully captures the nuances and complexities of relationships old and new." (Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost and The News Where You Are)
"[A] very satisfying story of people who are easy to believe in and hard to forget. Kathleen MacMahon writes with a confidence and ease and with an unerring sense of timing.... When you have long forgotten many other fictional lovers, there is something about Addie and Bruno, their past and their world, that will not go away." (Maeve Binchy, The Irish Times)
"MacMahon's enthralling debut novel features marvelous characters who will linger long in readers' hearts. This moving book will appeal to those who enjoy popular contemporary fiction, particularly the work of Maeve Binchy and Barbara Delinsky." (Library Journal, Starred Review)
"A transatlantic love story beginning at the start of the current recession, it is truly a story for our time.... MacMahon writes movingly about the balm of hope and the redemption of love, about the very real pain of loss and the restorative power of family... [This is How it Ends] signals the belated arrival of a new Irish commercial writer with an extraordinary gift and a voice that is entirely her own." (Irish Independent)
"An autumnal novel that combines the poignancy of Persuasion with the sentimentality of Love Story." (Kirkus)
"I was moved by This is How it Ends, a tender-but never sentimental-story of unlikely love. With great wit and humor, Kathleen MacMahon skillfully captures the nuances and complexities of relationships old and new." (Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost)
"[MacMahon's] prose couldn't be tighter; yet it could not appear more effortless or beautiful.... She reaches unashamedly for the heart.... [A] bittersweet, engaging novel that will no doubt become a book-club darling." (Lorraine Courtney, The Sunday Independent)
"A tender love story.... A book about love, family, children and that glorious sense of being alive." (Irish Examiner)
"MacMahon quickly reaches the unadorned essence or soul of all her characters.... MacMahon lends her subjects grace and dignity as they deal with problems that are not sorted by money. Her fluid, no-frills narrative is reminiscent of Brian Moore." (RTÉ)
