A POST IRISH BOOK AWARDS NOVEL OF THE YEARFrom the Booker nominated author of From a Low and Quiet Sea, Donal Ryan’s new novel follows the Gladney family across three generations seeking the true meaning of what it is to find home and love.In 1973, twenty-year-old Moll Gladney takes a morning bus from her rural home in Ireland and disappears. Bewildered and distraught, Paddy and Kit must confront an unbearable prospect: that they will never see their daughter again.Five years later, Moll returns from London. What – and who – she brings with her will change the course of her family’s life forever. Beautiful and devastating, this exploration of loss, alienation and the redemptive power of love reaffirms Donal Ryan as one of the most talented and empathetic writers at work today.
Donal Ryan is the author of The Spinning Heart, The Thing About December, A Slanting of the Sun, All We Shall Know, and From a Low and Quiet Sea which have all been published to major acclaim. The Spinning Heart… More about Donal Ryan
“Here is love as a weapon and a balm. Love as faith, fate and redemption… a gorgeously wrought book – compassionate without dissolving into nostalgia.”—Guardian“One of the greatest Irish novels of this century so far.” —Sunday Independent“Endlessly surprising and incredibly moving.” —David Nicholls“A big-hearted, beautiful work of art, full of truth and intensity.” —Kit de Waal“Donal Ryan is giving us characters – their angles and their language – that we haven’t seen in Irish literature before.” —Roddy Doyle“Mr. Ryan… the heir apparent to the late, great Irish stylists John McGahern and William Trevor.” —The Wall Street Journal
