Kathleen Murray The Deadwood Encore

Produktbeskrivelse

A brilliantly inventive and often funny story of family and identity, inheritance and birthright, ambiguous loss and finding your way, Frank Walsh’s voice will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading. Frank Walsh is the seventh son of a seventh son, and by now should have inherited his father’s legendary healing power, but instead he’s stuck on ringworm and warts. Frank idles about his small world in Carlow, his days spent labouring in the local sawmill, evenings at home drinking tea with his eccentric mother, and the occasional night out with his best friend Hopper. He feels aimless, afloat, and when his twin brother Bernie makes a life-altering decision which casts a shadow on how Frank perceives his place in the world, he turns to an unlikely source for guidance, embarking on a journey of self-discovery that is equal parts surreal and understated. The Deadwood Encore is a vivid portrait of a close-knit working-class family, and a small-town Irish community bound together by tradition and superstition.
