HTML:<b>Winner of the Irish Book Award</b><br /> <b>Finalist for the Booker Prize</b><br /> <br /> <b>This “affecting” debut is “reminiscent of William Faulkner’s <i>As I Lay Dying</i>” as it paints a vivid portrait of a working-class community in contemporary rural Ireland (<i>New York Times Book Review</i>).</b><br /> <b>“One of my favorite Irish books . . . Moving, atmospheric and beautiful.” —Tana French</b><br /> In the aftermath of Ireland’s financial collapse, dangerous tensions surface in an Irish town. As violence flares, the characters face a battle between public persona and inner desires. Through a chorus of unique voices, each struggling to tell their own kind of truth, a single authentic tale unfolds.<br /> <i>The Spinning Heart</i> speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel. Wry, vulnerable, all-too human, it captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland and with uncanny perception articulates the words and thoughts of a generation. Technically daring and evocative of Patrick McCabe and J.M. Synge, this novel of small-town life is witty, dark, and sweetly poignant. Donal Ryan’s brilliantly realized debut announces a stunning new voice in fiction.<br />  <br /> <b>Irish Book of the Decade (Dublin Book Festival)<br /> First Book Award (<i>The Guardian</i>)<br /> “Newcomer of the Year” and “Book of the Year” (Irish Book Award)<br /> “Best Book of the Year” (<i>Library Journal</i>)</b>.
