In 1973, twenty-year-old Moll Gladney takes a morning bus from her rural home in Ireland and disappears. Bewildered and distraught, Paddy and Kit must confront an unbearable prospect: that they will never see their daughter again.
Five years later, Moll returns from London. What – and who – she brings with her will change the course of her family’s life forever. Beautiful and devastating, this exploration of loss, alienation and the redemptive power of love reaffirms Donal Ryan as one of the most talented and empathetic writers at work today.
Donal Ryan’s novels include The Spinning Heart, and From a Low and Quiet Sea among others. The Spinning Heart won a number of awards including the Guardian First Book Award and the EU Prize for Literature (Ireland). From a Low and Quiet Sea was nominated for the Booker in 2018. Strange Flowers was the winning book of the An Post Irish Novel of the Year 2020. Ryan is from County Tipperary and lives with his family just outside Limerick City.
This is a beautifully crafted book that explores the themes of love and love with compassion . The writing is restrained but powerful and the construction of the sentences makes you want to go back and read them again. His choice of words and phrases are almost lyrical but easily understood and accessible. It’s a book to savour and enjoy. Limerick Libraries, Ireland
