Description

‘I said it before. Madness comes circling around. Ten-year cycles, as true as the sun will rise…’Some things can send a heart spinning; others will crack it in two. In a small town in rural Ireland, the local people have weathered the storms of economic collapse and are looking towards the future.

The jobs are back, the dramas of the past seemingly lulled, and although the town bears the marks of its history, new stories are unfolding. But a fresh menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way.

Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy no one can touch…A stunning, lyrical novel told in twenty-one voices, Heart, be at Peace can be read independently, or as a companion to Donal Ryan’s multi-award-winning novel, The Spinning Heart, voted ‘The Irish Book of the Decade’. PRAISE FOR DONAL RYAN:'Beautiful, compassionate ...
