Wild Quiet, Paperback / softback Book

Wild Quiet Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A memory-eating, closet-dwelling beast escapes its confines; a Somali girl in a Donegal school is tougher than she seems; under a jasmine tree in Andalucia a woman waits for her stolen son; at the edge of a city, two brothers step unwittingly into a game that turns deadly.

The scope and diversity of these stories knows no bounds, sitting somewhere between the real and imaginary. Wild Quiet contains a world viewed from unexpected angles, where the ordinary is rendered extraordinary and the extraordinary sublime.

These are stories woven with compassion and humour, announcing the arrival of a fresh new voice in Irish literature. In this astonishingly innovative and bold collection, Roisin O'Donnell examines the hurts and triumphs of being human, and the wild, quiet moments that approach something like grace.
