From the Booker Prize finalist, a classic of contemporary prose, who was called “the incomparable chronicler of life, lost forever” (Irish Independent)—“a masterpiece of style and atmosphere, partly resembling the books of Cormac McCarthy” (Booklist)—a novel that won the prestigious Costa Award, another episode in the saga of the McNulty family. With Rozanna McNulty, the native reader is already familiar from the novel “The Book of Fate” (screened in 2017 by six-time Oscar nominee Jimmy Sheridan; roles played by Rooney Mara, Theo James, Eric Bana, Vanessa Redgrave)—and now meet Thomas McNulty. Leaving hunger-stricken Ireland as a seventeen-year-old, he finds himself in the United States; he will have to pass the test of war, separation, and impossible love—yet he will never betray himself, and from the first to the last page he has “the intoxicating sharpness of words and the ability to marvel at the world” (The New York Times Book Review)…
“An amazing and unexpected miracle”—that’s how Kazuo Ishiguro, Booker and Nobel Prize laureate, described “The Unending Days.”
