Review
A thrilling and often nail-biting depiction of music, friendship and personal demons . . . Onda beautifully conveys the transcendent power of classical music in all its emotive, psychological and visceral glory. ― OBSERVERA pitch-perfect, vivid masterpiece. A celebration of the love and joy inherent in the act of creating and appreciating music. Honeybees and Distant Thunder contains a warm frequency that vibrates with life and soul. ― NICK BRADLEY, author of THE CAT AND THE CITYPropulsive and poetic ― KIRKUS REVIEWSDeeply moving. The now-ness of Onda's writing left me more than once with a big, goofy grin on my face or tears on my cheeks ― ASSOCIATED PRESSA fine performance ― IRISH TIMES
