Praise for The Hurley Maker's Son
This is no ordinary summation of works and days. On the contrary: even as the events and circumstances of the author’s everyday experiences present themselves in a clear (and sometimes blinding) light, they generate emotional and psychological thickets through which he has to find his way.
It’s the quality of the reflections on the tears and snags of his dark wood, and the way that their reality counterpoints those of family, school and professional life, that makes The Hurley Maker’s Son such a courageous and heartfelt work, a lament and an act of recuperation, deceptively artless and engagingly plainspoken.

The Hurley Maker’s Son – A Memoir (Doubleday Ireland, 2016)
A glorious book, a perfect elegy, a gorgeous tumble of memories of life, death, love and, above all, family. The Hurley Maker’s Son is suffused with warmth and joy and an ineffable sadness. The closing passages, like many in this book, are exquisite and almost unbearable.
– Donal Ryan, novelist.
It is a magnificent book...
...this is what makes The Hurley Maker’s Son so special: like the very best books, it creates an atmosphere that is entirely unique — an atmosphere that never really leaves you.
- The Irish Examiner
A searingly honest exploration of the human condition.
– Irish Mail on Sunday
Gloriously poetic…Every sentence counts in this beautiful, evocative memoir. The prose shimmers. I adored it.
– Irish Examiner
Patrick Deeley has penned a masterpiece of memoir-writing.
– RTE Ten
