Heart, Be at Peace
vonDonal Ryan
The stunning new novel from the Booker Prize-listed, bestselling author of Strange Flowers and The Queen of Dirt Island 'Beautiful...a book full of love and hope , more needed in these days than ever' Kit de Waal 'I am blown away by the ambition and scope of this exquisite piece of writing... sublime in both its sentiment and beauty' Rachel Joyce Some things can send a heart spinning; others will crack it in two... In a small town in rural Ireland, the local people have weathered the storms of economic collapse and are looking towards the future. The jobs are back, the dramas of the past seemingly lulled, and although the town bears the marks of its history, new stories are unfolding. But a fresh menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy no one can touch... Told in twenty-one voices, Heart, be at Peace is a heartfelt, lyrical novel that can be read independently, or as a companion to Donal Ryan's multi-award-winning novel, The Spinning Heart, voted 'The Irish Book of the Decade'. ***** PRAISE FOR DONAL RYAN: 'One of the finest novelists writing today.'
