The Spinning Heart

In the aftermath of Ireland's financial collapse, dangerous tensions surface in an Irish town. As the consequences of greed begin to affect good and bad alike, a drama of kidnap and murder is enacted, enveloping an entire community. Through a chorus of unique voices, each struggling to tell their own kind of truth, a single authentic tale unfolds. This astonishing debut brilliantly captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland. Taking on the mantle of Synge and O'Casey, the author pours out the thoughts of a generation with uncanny accuracy. Witty, dark and sweetly poignant, The Spinning Heart speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel.
