WINNER OF THE 2023 BOOKER PRIZE:
PROPHET SONG by Paul Lynch
In the near-future, Ireland has sunk into totalitarianism and civil war has erupted. A young mother endures the disappearance of her husband, abuse from the secret police, and a dangerous journey with her children as refugees. The sheer realism of Paul Lynch's dystopian novel of the horrors of government tyranny and the agonies of its victims is absolutely chilling.
"A crucial book for our current times. . . A brilliant, haunting novel that should be placed into the hands of policymakers everywhere." - The Observer (UK).
"A tremendous achievement. . . This is one of the most important novels of 2023. Paul Lynch is a fearless writer – unafraid of taking on large themes and tackling them face to face. Prophet Song is extraordinary, totally realistic, demonstrating the power of fiction to enhance our empathy for those elsewhere, living through horrors beyond our everyday experience." - The Irish Examiner (UK).
"Nightmarish yet horribly convincing. . . powerful and horribly real. Where Prophet Song leads us is shocking, yet grimly inevitable. We would do well not to look away." - The Guardian (UK).
