L'âpreté lyrique du premier roman de Paul Lynch, Un ciel rouge, le matin, métamorphosait le paysage irlandais en un vaste territoire à l'horizon sans limites, au fil d'une impitoyable chasse à l'homme qui poussait inéluctablement un jeune métayer vers l'exil américain, dans un récit visuel fracassant.

Son nouveau roman raconte le retour d'un émigré irlandais au pays. Après des années passées à New York, Barnabas Kane retrouve le Donegal en 1945 et s'installe sur une ferme avec sa femme et son fils. Mais l'incendie, accidentel ou criminel, qui ravage son étable, tuant un ouvrier et décimant son bétail, met un frein à ce nouveau départ. Confronté à l'hostilité et à la rancoeur d'une communauté qui l'accuse d'avoir tué l'un des leurs, il devient un étranger sur son propre sol. Confiné sur cette terre ingrate où l'inflexibilité des hommes le dispute à celle de la nature, Barnabas Kane va devoir choisir à quel monde il appartient.
