Мама проводит дни, записывая в подробностях свои сны, которые считает вещими. Дядя живет в трейлере без колес, стоящем на бетонных блоках в саду за домом, и часто прикладывается к бутылке... Из этого привычного мира Дебби предстоит переместиться в мир, который является его абсолютной противоположностью - она поступает в дублинский Тринити-колледж, самый престижный университет Европы.

The Spinning Heart Donal Ryan
ISBN: 9781781620076 Год издания: 2012 Издательство: Transworld Ireland Язык: Английский The Spinning Heart speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel.

Young Skins Колин Барретт
ISBN: 978-1906539276 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Stinging Fly Press Язык: Английский РазвернутьThis magnificent collection takes us to Glanbeigh, a small town in rural Ireland – a town in which the youth have the run of the place. Boy racers speed down the back lanes; couples haunt the midnight woods; young skins huddle in the cold once The Peacock has closed its doors. Here the young live hard and wear the scars. It matters whose sister you were seen with. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, it matters a very great deal. Colin Barrett’s debut does not take us to Glanbeigh alone; there are other towns, and older characters. But each story is defined by a youth lived in a crucible of menace and desire – and each…

The Thing About December Donal Ryan
ISBN: 9781781620090 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Doubleday Ireland Язык: Английский Развернуть‘He heard Daddy one time saying he was a grand quiet boy to Mother when he thought Johnsey couldn’t hear them talking. Mother must have been giving out about him being a gom and Daddy was defending him. He heard the fondness in Daddy’s voice. But you’d have fondness for an auld eejit of a crossbred pup that should have been drowned at birth.’ While the Celtic Tiger rages, and greed becomes the norm, Johnsey Cunliffe desperately tries to hold on to the familiar, even as he loses those who all his life have protected him from a harsh world. Village bullies and scheming land-grabbers stand in his way, no matter where he turns. Set over the…
