"A thing of such beauty and compassion, a reminder of what the very finest sentences can do to shatter and then reassemble our hearts" (Kamila Shamsie)
"Beautiful and affecting" (David Nicholls)
"I struggle to think of a writer who has been so prolific and consistent in quality as Ryan . . . Brutally honest, moving and often hilarious" (Guardian)
"An engrossing, unpredictable, beautifully crafted novel; Donal Ryan is giving us characters - their angles and their language - that we haven’t seen in Irish literature before." (RODDY DOYLE)
"Donal Ryan has not only bounded over a wall into new territory, but built himself a castle there . . . This is a superb novel." (JOHN BOYNE)
"From a Low and Quiet Sea is not only very cleverly constructed, but deeply moving too. I loved it." (Louis de Bernières)
"Donal Ryan writes characters so well that as a reader you think ‘I’ve met that man’, or ‘I know that woman.’ But as a writer you simply wonder ‘how does he do it?’ From a Low and Quiet Sea is brutal and beautiful, carefully crafted portraits, deep and real, tied together, fashioned by a true artist. I absolutely loved it." (KIT DE WAAL)
"Themes of kindness and humanity are the binding thread...and Ryan writes of them with characteristic warmth and insight." (Sunday Times)
"The book has stayed with me" (Jonathan Franzen Guardian, Best Books of 2018)
"It’s a beautiful, luminous kind of piece - full of mystery, compassion, woven with such skill; heartbreaking and restorative. I will carry these splintered men around with me for a long time, along with the women who have loved them." (RACHEL JOYCE)
Donal Ryan is from Nenagh in County Tipperary. His first three novels, The Spinning Heart, The Thing About December and All We Shall Know, and his short story collection A Slanting of the Sun, have all been published to major acclaim. The Spinning Heart won the Guardian First Book Award, the EU Prize for Literature (Ireland), and Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards; it was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Desmond Elliott Prize, and was voted 'Irish Book of the Decade'. His fourth novel, From a Low and Quiet Sea, was longlisted for Man Booker Prize and shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award 2018.
A former civil servant, Donal lectures in Creative Writing at the University of Limerick. He lives with his wife Anne Marie and their two children just outside Limerick City.
