Description
A dark, rainy evening in a quiet Dublin suburb. Eilish, a microbiologist and mother of four, opens the door of her family home and sees two figures outside. Members of the newly established secret police have come to interrogate her husband Larry, a unionist. Irish democracy is crumbling, the country is in the hands of a government heading towards tyranny, and when Larry disappears, Eilish stands alone against the terrifying logic of a society that is rapidly losing its order. How far will she have to go to save her family? This gripping novel of breathtaking originality is not only a devastating vision of a country on the brink of civil war but also a heartfelt portrait of the immense power of maternal love, ordinary human kindness, and the resilience of the human spirit in inhumane conditions. Paul Lynch won the Booker Prize in 2023 for his dystopian novel The Song of the Prophet.
