To a Fault

Nick Laird

"A confident hybrid of voices and styles...tender and brilliant."--Irish Times

Journeying between his native Ulster and his adopted London, Nick Laird balances ideas of home and flight, the need for belonging and the need to remain outside. Dexterous, fresh, and deft, To a Fault does "more, in its range and ambition, than any other first collection...in at least the last ten years" (The Independent).
