The Book of the Gaels Yorkston James
Rural West Cork, Ireland. When a letter arrives with a summons to Dublin and the promise of publication, it offers a chink of light - the hope of rescue. Two Kids, Joseph and Paul, and their struggling, poet father, Fraser, are battling grief and poverty.
It tells of the emptying, paralyzing pain of grief and loss, tempered only by the hope But Dublin is a long, wet and hungry way from West Cork in the mid-70s, especially when they have no money - just the clothes they stand up in and an old, battered suitcase.So begins an almost anti-roadtrip of flipsides and contradictions - dreams and nightmares, promises and disappointments, generosity and meanness, unconditional love and shocking neglect.In simple, beautiful, lyrical prose, James Yorkston's new novel takes us on that trip, as seen through the eyes of a brave and resourceful but poor and frightened child.
