Paul Lynch, Paul Lynch S Prophet Song (26 results)

Softcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. From the Booker Prize-winning author of Prophet Song, a sweeping, Dickensian story of a young girl on a life-changing journey across nineteenth-century Ireland on the eve of the Great Famine.Early one October morning, Grace's mother snatches her from sleep and brutally cuts off her hair, declaring, "You are the strong one now." With winter close at hand and Ireland already suffering, Grace is no longer safe at home. And so her mother outfits her in men's clothing and casts her out.When her younger brother Colly follows after her, the two set off on a remarkable odyssey in the looming shadow of their country's darkest hour. The broken land they pass through reveals untold suffering as well as unexpected beauty. To survive, Grace must become a boy, a bandit, a penitent and, finally, a woman -- all the while afflicted by inner voices that arise out of what she has seen and what she has lost.Told in bold and lyrical language by an author who has already been called "one of his generation's very finest novelists" (Ron Rash, author of The Risen), Grace is an epic coming-of-age novel and a poetic evocation of the Irish famine as it has never been written.

In Prophet Song, Lynch imagines a contemporary Irish government which takes a hard right turn into authoritarianism and the effect on one family. As the social order disintegrates and events unfold, the author pummels and pummels that family - but not into submission. With this book, in this moment, when too many naive and ill-informed people wonder aloud whether democracy has run its course, Lynch has performed a public service by providing the reader with a credible reminder of the alternative.

Personally hand signed, dated and located directly to the full title page by Booker Prize winner, Paul Lynch. "2/10/24 Washington D.C." No dust jacket as issued. Photos available upon request. A tense, thrilling debut novel that spans two continents, from Booker Prize-winning author Paul Lynch, "a writer to watch out for" (Colum McCann). It's 1832 and Coll Coyle has killed the wrong man. The dead man's father is an expert tracker and ruthless killer with a single-minded focus on vengeance. The hunt leads from the windswept bogs of County Donegal, across the Atlantic to the choleric work camps of the Pennsylvania railroad, where both men will find their fates in the hardship and rough country of the fledgling United States. Language and landscape combine powerfully in this tense exploration of life and death, parts of which are based on historical events. With lyrical prose balancing the stark realities of the hunter and the hunted, Red Sky in Morning is a visceral and meditative novel that marks the debut of a stunning new talent.
