PRAISE FOR AS MEAT LOVES SALT "Absorbing and historically
meticulous . . . a fat, juicy masterpiece."--The Economist "McCann,
a marvelous storyteller, does not disappoint. Forbidden sensuality
is searingly described by chiaroscuro candlelight. Rich in secrets
and surprises, this novel has its own fierce poetry."--The
Independent (London) "A story tense with anguish, intimacy and
shame . . . it imaginatively re-creates the mentality of a society
racked by war and intoxicated by radical new ideas of freedom and
chance. . . . This is an intriguing and disturbing first novel
which lingers in the mind."--The Times Literary Supplement
