With this nature of book, it is hard to review. However, Seamus Heaney is a poet whose work I really enjoy. I am a poet myself, so I understand the life of a poet. These letters from Heaney have been collected together in the most efficient way. If you are at all interested in a writer's life, then do pick this up!

This was such a good book! I really love this author so I was so excited to get to read this book. The plot was so good I could not put it down until I finished! The characters were unique and I loved the journey and turmoil they went through. I will be recommending this book to all of my friends and family.

The Letters of Seamus Heaney by Seamus Heaney is absorbing, immersive, beeautiful

I fell in love with the poetry of Seamus Heaney when it was on the curriculum at school (many, many years ago, 35 to be exact) and since then, have always had them memorised, so when there was an opportunity to glean some further insight into the mind of this incredible wordsmith, I jumped at it and I was not at al disappointed

What a delight, what an absolute joy to read these letters, to see how this incredible poet evolved as his life changed, always maintaining his friendships, valuing people, his deep humanity and affability, his incredible mind

I would recomend this book very highly to any reader, any author, any lover of literature as it is a wonderful insight to how true greatness comes to be and how it is intrinsically linked to a deep seated humility

Thank you to Netgalley, Farrar, Straus and Giroux and the incredible Seamus Heaney for this incredible ARC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own
