À propos de la quatrième de couverture

All We Shall Know
‘A remarkably imaginative and beautiful user of the language. This book is very moving and true. I love the truth in his work.’ – Jennifer Johnston

‘All that we’ve come to expect from Donal – great humanity and an uncanny sense of place but this time – and at last! – we have a man writing from a woman’s point of view in a totally convincing and non-patronising way.’ – Christine Dwyer Hickey

‘Donal Ryan’s new book is an enthrallingly impassioned and compassionate read, ferocious but humane. All We Shall Know acknowledges the acts of vicious self-destruction the human heart is capable of, but does not accept that these acts are beyond repair. To his raw, wounded and grieving characters Donal Ryan says: If you are still breathing, you can be redeemed.’ – Colin Barrett

The Spinning Heart
Winner of the Guardian First Book Award
Winner of the European Union Prize for Literature (Ireland)
Winner of Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards

‘Funny, moving and beautifully written.’ – Edna O’Brien

‘I can’t imagine a more original, more perceptive or more passionate work than this. Outstanding.’ – John Boyne


The Thing About December
‘A novel to replenish the reader’s heart and spruce the reader’s soul.’ – Sebastian Barry
‘Ryan writes from the rural heartland in prose that always pushes for the truth of things. . . . unnoticeably beautiful . . . devastating.’ – Anne Enright

A Slanting of the Sun
‘Lyrical and honest and utterly true.’ – Mary Costello

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

‘Martin Toppy is the son of a famous Traveller and the father of my unborn child. He’s seventeen, I'm thirty-three. I was his teacher. I’d have killed myself by now if I was brave enough. I don’t think it would hurt the baby. His little heart would stop with mine. He wouldn't feel himself leaving one world of darkness for another, his spirit untangling itself from me.’

Melody Shee is alone and in trouble. Her husband doesn’t take her news too well. She can’t tell her father yet because he’s a good man and this could break him. She’s trying to stay in the moment, but the future is looming – larger by the day – while the past won’t let her go. What she did to Breedie Flynn all those years ago still haunts her.

It’s a good thing that she meets Mary Crothery when she does. Mary is a young Traveller woman, and she knows more about Melody than she lets on. She might just save Melody’s life.

Donal Ryan’s new novel is breathtaking, vivid, moving and redemptive.
