In his "elegant writing，" the Los Angeles Times found the promise of a serious new career. The New Yorker compared The Man in the Box to The Diary of Anne Frank， and the Los Angeles Timescompared Thomas Moran to Eli Wiesel. And on the heels of this critical success comes The World I Made for Her. Nuala means "white shoulders" in Gaelic. Nuala s wild red hair falls in disarray over hers. James watches her moving deftly around him; changing his IV， attaching a fresh respirator tube. Nuala s movements are like dance to him through his morphine-clouded vision. His senses are numbed， his mind is dulled， but he hears her Irish spirit sing against the metronome of the life-support machines. He is drawn to the warmth of her. He carries Nuala in and out of consciousness with him， writing a secret love story in which she is， unknowingly， the heroine. In prose that moves seamlessly between fantasy and reality， The World I Made for Her is a novel of obsession and redemption that unfolds like a dream-a story that will break your heart.
