Reviews
"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, "The novel, as with all Ryan's work, is tightly compressed, skillfully whittled down to the point where each word carries far more than its weight... Filled with tenderness, and written with the quiet lyricism that has put Ryan on the topmost branch of the flourishing tree of contemporary Irish fiction." -- The New York Times Book Review "The working out of the sadness and secrets of this little family is beautifully done, poignant rather than depressing, and ending on a sweet note. As in his past work, Ryan's prose is a miracle of fluidity, of country talk flowing in and out of people's thoughts, capturing the rural Irish soul in its whole essence as brilliantly as any writer ever has." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Ryan ( From a Low and Quiet Sea ) impresses with this gorgeous and meticulous multigenerational family saga...Fans of Sebastian Barry and Anne Enright will love this delicate and lush portrait." -- Publishers Weekly "A must-read." -- Irish Central "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
Synopsis
AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARD NOVEL OF THE YEAR Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Awards "Mr. Ryan writes conspicuously beautiful prose... The fleeting happiness and abiding melancholy of the asymmetry, heightened by the intimately rendered surroundings, brings out Mr. Ryan's most sensuous and emotive writing." - The Wall Street Journal From the Booker nominated author of The Queen of Dirt Island , 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., AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARD NOVEL OF THE YEAR Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Awards "Mr. Ryan writes conspicuously beautiful prose...

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
