The Whitest Flower - “important addition to the Irish national story”

Sunday Times Canberra

The Element of Fire - “Dickensian skill and mastery of historical research.”

Irish Independent

The Brightest Day, The Darkest Night - “Graham’s writing is beautifully descriptive of the varying landscapes and cultural diversities on both sides of the conflict.”

Irish Independent.

‘A brilliant and entertaining novel. It is full of images, pictures, imagination and music. There’s emotion, love, war, death, tragedy and joy too…gives hope and raises up. As a novelist he challenges prejudices but human hope and human life always survive. Read the book soon before it becomes a film.’
