We're launching @garrett_carr's The Boy from the Sea in the SHC on February 6th.
My sketches of the trawlers in The Boy from the Sea. The novel is coming soon from Picador and Knopf. "[The novel's] language and sensibility reflects the sly humour of its Donegal setting, and the reader is riveted by the heroic efforts of its characters to hold on to one another in the face of the gale-force winds of historical change.” Niamh Mulvey, author of The Amendments “Compulsive reading ... Compassionate, lyrical and full of devilment” Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
