WINNER OF THE KERRY GROUP IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2013 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BORD GAIS IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2013 With the voice of Anthony Sonaghan
- a modern-day Traveller born to a powerful, mythic inheritance
- Gavin Corbett summons a world we thought we knew as we have not seen or heard it before: ' There I was now. In a room, a tidy room, tidier than any room I been in before. The bed was hard. The walls they gave no sound. A heavy window thumped itself shut. Good I says. Peace I says.' Anthony, the son of a Sonaghan father & a Gillaroo mother, is descended from two families whose enmity is a matter of legend. Though he belongs to a storytelling tradition, Anthony has grown up away from his people, & is only dimly aware of their disputes. That is until the blood feud touches him, & he comes to Dublin to lie low. His time in the city is a reckoning. Only there does he appreciate the strength of his heritage but also its otherness. In an unforgettable feat of imposture, Gavin Corbett has found a startling idiom
- vivid & innocent
- with which to speak for Anthony & that other, Travelling world.
