Glorious Exploits is hilarious, sad, horrific, brutal and, of course, glorious.

This is a story that shows the need for art even in a time of war and horror, and the importance of friendship, love, family and community.

Lampo, one of the two main characters leaps from the page in the way that he describes life in the city of Syracuse. He’s poor and uneducated, but he certainly has a lot to say! His venture with his best friend, Gelon, sees beyond the horrors that the Athenians must have committed - or perhaps he’s come to terms with what they’ve done - and he can see that their punishment doesn’t really fit their crime.

The Syracusans speak in the Irish vernacular, and what’s really strange, is that it doesn’t sound out of place (in my head, anyway!).

I laughed and cried whilst reading this. It really is a glorious read.
