In the aftermath of Ireland's financial collapse, dangerous tensions surface in an Irish town.
As violence flares, the characters face a battle between public persona and inner desires.
Through a chorus of unique voices, each struggling to tell their own kind of truth, a single authentic tale unfolds.
The Spinning Heart speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel.
Wry, vulnerable, all-too human, it captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland and with uncanny perception articulates the words and thoughts of a generation.
Technically daring and evocative of Patrick Mc Cabe and J.
Synge, this novel of small-town life is witty, dark and sweetly poignant.
Donal Ryan's brilliantly realized debut announces a stunning new voice in fiction.
