Intimate. Tearful. Aching and lyrical. So simply and beautifully told." -Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling authorI'm here to remember-all that I have been and all that I will never be again.If you had to pick five people to sum up your life, who would they be? If you were to raise a glass to each of them, what would you say? And what would you learn about yourself, when all is said? At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual -- though tonight is anything but. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally ready to tell his story. Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice - the life of one man will be powerfully and poignantly laid bare. Beautifully heart-warming and deeply felt, the voice of Maurice Hannigan will stay with you long after all is said and done. Críticas Beautiful, yet heartbreaking--US WeeklyAn impressively confident debut novel. --The GuardianAn accomplished debut. A sensitive layered description of grief and regret...excellent. --Minneapolis Star TribuneExplores with humor and heart...Beautifully realized. --Lit HubThere's something special here. --John Boyne, New York Times bestselling author of The Boy in the Striped PajamasThis is how you tell a story. --Cecelia Ahern, New York Times bestselling author of PS, I Love YouWhen All Is Said catches a world in a moment.

Anne Griffin has fashioned a rare jewel. --John Banville, New York Times bestselling author of Time Pieces and Man Booker Prize award-winning author of The Sea In the twilight of his long and eventful life, Irishman Maurice Hannigan still possesses the deep and mellow voice that his grandmother once told him 'could melt icebergs--a voice that debut author Anne Griffin renders with wit, verve, and endearing irascibility. When All Is Said captures the texture of a night catching up with an old friend--the pleasures and comforts, the stories and surprises--one that you never want to end, and all the more bittersweet because you know, of course, that it must. --Kathleen Rooney, bestselling author of Lillian Boxfish Takes a WalkAnne Griffin's debut novel is a must read. Beautifully observed, masterful story telling - stunning! --Graham Norton, award-winning authorWhen All Is Said is lovely. I'm a sucker for structure and the conception of this novel, told around five toasts is just wonderful, it gives you that sense of a whole life, of someone accounting for themselves and their decisions, it takes a firm grip and draws us in. It is beautifully written, unhurried and thoughtful, a lonely man truthfully wrought and a character you love from the off, in spite of his flaws or maybe because of them. --Kit de Waal, bestselling author of My Name is LeonMaurice Hannigan is one of those rare and unforgettable characters whose lives we enter, inhabit for a time
