Winner of the Irish Book of the Year * Winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction * Shortlisted for the Nero Novel of the Year * A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice
From one of the most acclaimed Irish writers today, a new novel about smalltown Ireland that explores a community on the mend and the power of love and trauma to both bring people together and divide them "I said it before. Madness comes circling around. Ten-year cycles, as true as the sun will rise. . ." In a small town in Ireland, the local people have weathered the storm of economic collapse and now look to the future: The jobs are back, the dramas of the past seemingly lulled, and although the town bears the scars of its history, new stories have begun to unfold. But an insidious menace now creeps through back-alley shadows and into the lives of the townspeople. Old grudges fester and new ones arise. Young people are lured by the promise of fast money while the generation above them tries to hold back the tide of an enemy beyond their control. And the peace of this town is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. A stunning, lyrical novel told in twenty-one voices, Heart, Be at Peace reveals a community that together looks to overcome the betrayals, secrets, and grudges that can divide families, neighbors, and entire generations.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Hardback. Etat : Like New. Daniella Laughlin might seem put together but on the inside, she's figuring out who she is without her mom's beauty pageant influence. Constantly being critiqued and set up by her mom, she dreads going home for the holidays. Enter her best friend's older brother, hockey captain Gabriel Van Helsing. Dani and Gabe have been friends for two decades and she's harbored a secret crush on him forever, but never acted on it. Gabe's a player, on and off the ice, and the longest relationship he's had is with his hockey stick. He offers to drive her home for Thanksgiving break and proposes the most bonkers idea--they should fake date until New Year's to get her mom to leave her alone. Gabe might wear the C on the ice, but he's always been passive. But after his latest hookup wouldn't take a hint, he uses Daniella's predicament for the perfect solution: if he was unavailable, people would leave him alone. Things begin easily with their friendship, but with every touch and fake kiss, Daniella can't hide her feelings anymore. And for Gabe, who sets deadlines for every fling he's ever had, he struggles to fight for what he wants. When their timeline is up, Daniella's insecurities clash with Gabe's inability to commit. For two people hesitant to take a chance, they must risk their decades-long friendship for a shot at love. Contains mature themes. N° de réf. du vendeur 00096280111
