Heart, Be At Peace – Donal Ryan and Whale Fall – Elizabeth O’Connor

25 Oct 2024 18:00

Donal Ryan is an award winning author from County Tipperary. Set in rural Ireland, Heart, Be At Peace is told in twenty-one voices. With Donal’s trademark understanding of what it is to be human this is a stunning lyrical novel from a consistently brilliant Irish writer.

The ominous appearance of a beached whale on a remote island in 1938 is the backdrop of a world on the edge of great tumult. Elizabeth O’Connor’s astonishing first novel Whale Fall was one of the Observer’s debuts of the year. 

Stephen May’s acclaimed books include Sell Us The Rope and Life! Death! Prizes! He has been shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award and the Guardian‘s Not the Booker Prize and is a past winner of the Reader’s Choice Award at the Wales Book of the Year.
