She That Lay Silent-Like Upon Our Shore

Story telling at its most primal … brutal, tender and wildly imaginative * Irish Times *Wild, wanton, fresh and ageless * Irish Independent *My hidden gem of the year * Sunday Independent Books of the Year *An act of pure imagination: this is one of those stories that arrive fully formed in the writer’s head, asking to be written first and understood later. The result is a kind of vision, told with great attention to language, voice and tone * Anne Enright *A primeval fairy tale, fully-realised and wondrous, resplendent with stark and powerful images I’ll not forget * Oisin Fagan *Unlike anything else you’ll read this year - a truly imaginative, atmospheric novel that tells in strange, beguiling prose the story of a lost young man finding redemption on foreign shores * Sarah Gilmartin *A strange and darkly wondrous book, like a wild and witty outtake from a folkloric Moby-Dick * Philip Hoare *
