This was a real find. On the surface, Conor O'Callaghan's novel is the story of a road trip with an Irish trucker and his stroppy, estranged teenage daughter. But it is much more than that - and there's a twist at the end that is both horrifying and ...more | |
"There is sheer beauty in this new novel by Donal Ryan, with prose so breathtaking and finely crafted that it brought me to my knees. For that reason alone, the book will soar toward the top of my personal Best of 2017 list.
